FRONT WHEEL REMOVAL
The front tire has a quick release system. Flip the quick
release lever 180
°.
Pull twist lever counter-clockwise
while holding onto the lock nut on the opposite side of the
front fork. Pull the skewer away from the lock nut when
loose enough to do so. Remove the wheel.
REAR WHEEL REMOVAL
Put the bike in first gear to minimize the tension on the
chain. Loosen the brake cable as necessary to release the
tension on the brake. Use a crescent wrench to unscrew
the nuts that hold the axle to the frame. If the nuts are
very tight, spray some lubricant on the nuts.
TIRE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Deflate the tire by pressing down the inner part of the
valve. Loosen the tire beads from the rim by squeezing the
tire together all the way around the rim. Take a couple tire
levers and ease one in under the wheel rim. Carefully lift
upward to pull out the edge of the tire. Leave this tire
lever in and repeat the process with another one all the
way around the tire until one side of the tire is completely
released from the rim.
