Back wheel change

newballsplease · 2013-01-18 00:50:16

I realise this may have been done before. But im a major dummy when it comes to changing the tube on back wheel and even putting the wheel back on. Any videos that best explain it? How do i know its correctly on? My gears are slipping everytime i do it. Something isnt right. How do i know which size tube i need for mybike?

I like this guy's videos.

With a little practice I'm sure it'll get easy! It's handiest if you change down the gears to the smallest cog before taking the wheel off, less of a faff with the chain and it's easier when you know which cog to feed the chain onto.

You may have knocked your rear derailler out of allignment during putting on of the wheel. You'll have to re-adjust once you have the wheel on correctly.
