➻ A hole in the wheel:

If there is a hole in the wheel we must change the inner tube. Follow these steps:

1.  With a screwdriver or a fork we have to put inside the tyre and separate the tyre from the rim

2. Do the same thing in the other side of the wheel

3. With your hands, remove the inner tube inside the tyre but leave the rim close to the tyre, without separate it.

4. Find the hole in the inner tube (put the inner tube in water and try to see where the bubbles are, because is very difficult to find the hole with naked eye).

5. When you find the hole you can do two things: 

    - Put a plaster on the hole (but with the time maybe it will break again)

    - Throw the inner tube in the bin.

6. Put back the new inner tube inside the tyre (watch the video tutorial).

Periodic checks

Everytime we want to use the bicycle, we must check:

➺ If the handlebar can be moved well:
First of all, you must check if the handlebar can be moved well if it doesn't move well or it's difficult to move it you should adjust the screws.

➺ If there's air in the wheels:
Sometimes is difficult to use the bicycle because it hasn't got air or it has a hole on the wheel, if there isn't air you should use a pump bicycle tyre for inflate the wheel that doesn't have air.
(If there is a hole in the wheel check the Repairs section)

➺ If there's oil in the chain:
When the chain doesn't move well, you should put some special oil for the chain and it will move better.

➺ Fit the seat:
Before using the bicycle the seat should be at the same heigh as your waist.
