How to fix a flat tire on TotGuard bike?

Fixing a flat tire on a TotGuard bike is straightforward and can often be done at home with the right tools. First, you’ll need a tire lever, a pump, and a replacement tube if the flat can’t be repaired. Begin by removing the wheel from the bike, which may require loosening the quick-release lever or bolting mechanism.

Next, use the tire lever to carefully pry the tire off the rim. Once the tire is off, locate the puncture in the inner tube. You can often hear a hissing sound or feel air escaping to find it. If the puncture is small, it may be repaired with a patch. If it’s large or the tube is worn out, replacing it is best.

Once you’ve made the repair or installed the new tube, reassemble the tire and pump it back up to the specified pressure. Make sure to check for any debris inside the tire before reattaching it to avoid future flats.

PRO TIP: Always carry a basic repair kit when cycling in case of emergencies.

CONSIDERATION: If you’re not comfortable fixing it yourself, consider taking it to a local bike shop.
