Removing the Tire and Tube from the Wheel
text/0/25
Let all remaining air out of
the tire.
Use a couple of tire levers
if you have them, or the backs of
some forks or spoons, (try to
avoid using sharp screwdrivers) to
remove the tire. Start by
inserting one tire lever anywhere
between the tire and the edge of
the rim. Insert the lever just far
enough to pry the edge of the tire
over the edge of the rim.
The inner tube inside is very
easy to poke a hole into.

After prying the edge of the
tire over, insert one more tire
lever about 4" from the first one
and pry a little more tire over
the edge of the rim. Take out this
second lever and re-insert it
another 4" away and pry over the
edge of the tire again here. Soon
the whole side of the tire will be
loose enough to finish prying over
by hand.
Pull the inner tube out of
the way and finish by prying the
other side of the tire off the
rim.
