Video Transcript

"So, you've realized that one of your tires is flat. We've gone through removing the brakes, opening them up. The next step would be to use your quick release lever to remove the wheel from the bike. Now, most quick release levers are labeled "Open On One Side", it would be hard to see but it is usually there. So, you'd actually turn this lever outward to expose the side that says open. Now on most bikes at this point, the wheel will not come out in the front, that's because there's little recesses that hold it on, little flanges down here. So the next step is to unscrew it enough so that the quick release skewer clears the fork blades. Once that's free you can remove it and begin working on the wheel. However, we're going to put this front wheel back on and we're going to work on the rear wheel because, not only do you have to know how to take both wheels off, flats are almost always on the rear."
