7.4. Repairing Punctures
Tyre punctures can happen to any cyclist. As long as you have the neces-
sary tools for changing tyres and tubes and a spare tube or a tyre repair
kit, this need not mean the end of your cycle tour, however. For bikes
with quick-releases all you need are two tyre levers made of plastic and
a pump; if your wheels are secured with nuts you also need a suitable
wrench for removing the wheel.
7.4.1. Wheel Removal
If your bicycle has cantilever brakes and V-brakes you first have
to disengage the brake cable from the brake arm. To do this grip
around the wheel with one hand and press the brake pads and arms
together. In this position it should be easy to disengage the usually
barrel-shaped nipple or, in the case of V-brakes, the outer cable.
In the case of hydraulic rim brakes deflate the tyre completely or
dismount one brake unit, if you have a quick-release brake. Be sure
to read the operating instructions of the brake manufacturer on the
STEVENS CD-ROM. Make sure to fix the brake pad exactly in parallel
to the braking surface of the rim when mounting this brake unit.
The Wheels
Danger:
Never ride a bicycle with-
out having first checked
whether the wheels are
securely fastened! A wheel
that comes loose during the
ride will throw you off your
bicycle!
Danger:
Make sure the levers of both
quick-releases are always
on the side opposite the
chain drive. This will help
you to avoid mounting the
front wheel the wrong way
round. In the case of disc
brakes we recommend for a
reliable clamping that you
position the quick-release
on the side of the chain
drive.
Note:
If your bicycle is equipped
with quick-releases, be
sure to lock the frame to an
immovable object together
with the wheels when you
leave it outside.
