How do I change the back tire of a bike when its flat?Either loosen the bolts or the quick release skewer. Release the rear brake cable to open them wide enough for the tire to come out and go back in. Pull the derailleur gently down and remove the wheel. Using tire irons (or flat blade screw driver if you are very careful) remove one side of the tire from the rim. Pull the tube out and replace or patch it. reverse above process to put it back together.How do I change the back tire of a bike when its flat?cantilever brakes may also need to do something to release the brakes so the tire can come through
