How to Install a Mountain Bike Tire: A Step-by-Step Guide
To install a mountain bike tire, first remove the old tire if necessary. Next, make sure the new tire is compatible with your rim size. Then, inflate the new tire slightly and place it onto the rim, starting at the valve stem. Work around the tire, using a tire lever if needed, until the entire tire is seated evenly on the rim. Finally, add air to the tire to your desired pressure level and check for any bulges or defects in the installation.
