How to measure tyre wear?
To measure the wear on your road tyres and to know when they need replacing, you need to inspect the tread. Signs of wear include:
- tread starting to fray
- the appearance of a series of micro cracks
- low tread depth
- the carcass becomes visible.
In all these cases the tyre is worn and needs replacing.
How to remove a bicycle tyre
To remove your tyre, you need to deflate the inner tube until no more air comes out.
Once deflated, use a tyre lever to remove the tyre from the rim
How to fit a bicycle tyre
To put the tyre back on, insert one side of the tyre into the rim. Next, inflate your inner tube to approximately 30% before putting it into the tyre (inflating it beforehand reduces the risk of pinching the inner tube).
Then, insert the other side of the tyre into the rim, starting on the side opposite the valve.
Before inflating the inner tube all the way, check to make sure it isn't pinched between the tyre and the rim.
