      ​​@@cyclemaintenanceacademy Hey, does this work if the tube isn't bent, but is somehow pushed in? Like, so far in, I couldn't get the cap back on? (My bike's tubes aren't the same ones in your video here; they're not the kinds with a valve or collar, and they aren't as long either. Instead, they're shorter, and just have the tube & cap. I believe they're what are known as Schrader tubes.) My idiot friend was reinflating them with air for me via a gas station's tire reinflating machine (I don't have a bike pump yet), and he must've pushed down into it. 🙄😤

    Very helpful video took me minutes to complete approach one. Didn't even need to loosen the tire manually as it happened on deflating the tube.

    I know I’m a bit late to commenting but I still hope you could help me with a question. I don’t know much about bikes or how tyres and all that valve stuff works but like you said in the video if the valve were to not be straight it would eventually puncture near the valve as said 0:56, that exact thing has happened to me recently but I don’t know what to do now. Wether I try and fix it (if there is a way please tell me how if there is one) or having to buy a whole new tyre entirely.

    • @UsernameIcy

      Also the valve bit goes in and out of the bike tire and I don’t know if that’s normal either…

    • @cyclemaintenanceacademy
      @cyclemaintenanceacademy  13 днів тому

      No worries, you're not too late! I’m glad you reached out. If your tyre has punctured near the valve due to it not being straight, the best solution will be to replace the tube with a new one and inflate it to the correct pressure.
      Patching a hole near the valve is quite tricky because the rubber in that area is thicker, making it difficult to apply the patch securely and fully seal the hole.
      You don’t necessarily need to buy a whole new tyre. But if the tyre itself has sustained damage or is worn out, it might be a good idea to replace it as well.
      Let me know if you need more help with the process, and I’d be happy to guide you through it!

    I've the same issue my inner tube valve won't stay in the same spot help needed

    • @cyclemaintenanceacademy
      @cyclemaintenanceacademy  2 місяці тому

      Hi, and thanks for your comment! A good approach is to fully remove the inner tube from the tyre and then carefully refit it. When inflating, go slowly and watch to see if the valve shifts position. If it does, release a bit of air so you can move the tyre in the rim and straighten the valve. Repeat this process until the valve stays aligned. Hope this helps-let me know how it goes!

    I had my tire blown up 3 times because of this problem.
    The tire blew up each and every time just under the valve and it happened.
    I tried removing the wheel and adjusted the valve position but after filling it with air, the problem reoccured every time.
    Can i get some advice pls ?

    • @cyclemaintenanceacademy

      Hi, and thanks for your question. That must be so frustrating, I really feel for you.
      First, check if there's a rim tape covering the edge of the hole. It might be that the edge of the hole is too sharp and it's damaging the innertube.
      Make sure that you pump the tyre to the correct pressure and tighten the valve lock ring (if there is one). If there's not enough air in the tube it tends to move when riding pulling on the valve and this may cause the puncture.
      If you checked these and the problem still persists the next step would be to seek advice from your local bike shop. They will be able to investigate the problem and solve it quickly.
      I hope this helps🙂

    Dam scooters. This piss me off. Is this the same method for electric scooters?

    • @cyclemaintenanceacademy
      @cyclemaintenanceacademy  Рік тому +2

      Hey, thanks for the comment. I'm not sure if my answer will be of any help as I don't know anything about scooters. If there's a tube then you should be able to straighten the bent valve. However, I can't promise you that it will be as easy as shown in this video. Good luck and let us know if you were successful🙂
