To disable ads, please log-in.
I plan on starting to commute next week. I need to pick up a couple of tubes, I have tire irons and inflator. How do I change a tire? Thanks

There's an article about this right on the TE website---

I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

And practice this weekend. Sit in your living room with a good movie on and change it over and over and over. You will feel confident if you do have to use the skills.

Also make sure you know how to get the wheel in and out, 'specially the back.
And carry those pre-packed hand wipes.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
