- 1. Check the rimstrip, the rubber,
- cloth or plastic covering over the
- spoke nipples to be sure it is in
- good condition and in proper
- position.

- 2. Look at the outside of the tire
- while feeling around the inside
- (carefully) to see whether the
- puncturing object is still stuck
- in the rubber.
- If the tire has an large
- hole, you may be able to patch it
- temporarily. Just lay a square of
- cloth between the tire and the
- tube. the air pressure will hold
- it in place.

- 3. Put just enough air into the
- tube for it to take its
- doughnut-like shape.
-
- 4. Put the inner tube fully into
- the tire.
-
- 5. Push the valve about half way
- into the valve hole on the rim. If
- you have trouble getting it in,
- lift up the rimstrip first, push
- the valve through the rimstrip,
- then into the rim.
-
- 6. Lay the wheel on a table and
- then slip the bottom side of the
- tire into position onto the rim.
