Do not use tyre levers to refit the tyre: doing so risks 
puncturing the tyre again!

If the tyre has been fitted correctly, inflate the tyre and then 
tighten the valve nut securely. Screw the dust cap onto the 
valve and you are ready to go.

If the hole in your inner tube is too big to be repaired, then 
it will need to be replaced. You will need to remove the 
wheel for this. Chapter 11.3 explains how to do this.
