Key concepts students will learn:

  • To fix a flat tire, you'll need a spare tube, tire levers, and a pump or CO2 inflator.

  • Before installing the new tube, carefully check the inside of the tire for any sharp objects that may have caused the flat.

  • After inserting the new tube, use your thumbs to push the tire back onto the rim, and check for any pinches before fully inflating the tire.
