7.3.2. 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 bicycles
with quick-releases all you need in addition are two plastic tyre levers
and a pump.
7.3.2.1. Wheel Removal
In the case of road bike rim brakes open the release lever of the
brake (Shimano) or move the pin in the brake lever/shifter unit on the
handlebars (Campagnolo).
Cantilever brakes Mini V-brakes
If you have derailleur gears, you should shift the chain to the medi-
um or small chainring or to the smallest sprocket before removing the
wheel. This shifts the rear derailleur right to the outside where it does
not interfere with the removal of the wheel and the chain tension is
not too high.
Open the quick-release, as described in chapter “Wheel Fastening with
Quick-Releases”. If you cannot remove the wheel after releasing the
lever or nut, it is probably still being held in place by drop-out catches.
They come as projections which jut into the drop-outs. In these cases,
just release the quick-release adjusting nut by a few turns and slip the
wheel past the catch.
You will find it easier to remove the rear wheel, if you pull the rear
derailleur rearwards a little.
Lift the bicycle off the ground and give the wheel a gentle tap with
your hand so that it drops out.
If you have disc brakes, check the position of the brake pads. This will
help you to verify subsequently, whether the brake pads are still in the
proper position after dismounting. Read the operating instructions of the
brake manufacturer on the STEVENS CD-ROM.
The Wheels
In the case of cantilever brakes and mini V-brakes on cyclocross bi-
cycles 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 the usually barrel shaped nip-
ple can easily be disengaged.
Danger:
Do not le o the drop-out
catches!
