NOTE: If you have disc brakes, be
careful not to press the brake lever
after removing the wheel. This may
close the brake pads making it difficult
for the rotor to go back inside the pads.
Remove the rear wheel
1. Shift down to the smallest gear
in the cassette. If you have rim
brakes, open the quick release cable
mechanism for the rear brake to open
the brake arms.
2. Loosen the quick release, nuts, or
through axle on the wheel.
3. Grab the derailleur body and push
down, then back and release the
wheel from the dropouts.
4. Tilt the wheel and remove the chain
from the cassette. Set the wheel and
your bike down with the gears up.
Replace the rear wheel
1. Standing at the rear of the bike,
with the wheel between your knees,
grab the rear derailleur with your right
hand and pull back and push down
making sure the top of the chain drops
over the first (or smallest) gear on the
cassette. Make sure the wheel axle
fits all the way into the frame of
the bicycle.
2. Tighten the quick release making
sure that it is properly positioned
within the dropouts and closed. If the
quick release is not closed correctly
(in-line with the chain stay), the lever
can catch in a disc brake rotor
(Figure 2.4).
Figure 2.4
3. Replace the quick release cable
mechanism for the rear brake (rim
brakes) and you’re done.
WARNING:
A quick-release device
not correctly adjusted and closed
can move independently and catch in
spokes or a brake rotor. In addition, the
wheel may become loose or come off,
suddenly stop the wheel, decrease your
control, and cause you to fall. Make
sure the quick release lever is correctly
positioned in the dropouts and closed
before you ride your bicycle.
5. Remove & replace
your tire
These instructions are written for
standard tire systems with tubes.
For another type of tire, consult your
bike shop.
Remove the tire from the wheel
1. Deflate the inner tube and loosen
the valve nut (Presta valve).
2. Loosen the tire from the rim.
3. Use your hands or tire levers to
remove the tire from one side of the
rim. Do not use a sharp object such as
a screwdriver to remove the tire.
4. With one side of the tire removed,
you can reach in and remove the
inner tube.
5. To remove the tire completely use
your hands or tire levers to remove the
other side of the tire from the rim.
