Introduzione

If you notice that your bike tire is flat (and if re-inflating doesn't work or last long and the tire seems to be in a good state), you probably need to replace your bike tube. This guide will demonstrate the process and steps required to fix a worn out or punctured bike tube on a Trek 800 model bike.

Thanks for providing these instructions. But I think the most difficult step (getting the tire off the rim) should be explained in more detail.
