That day he would ride Mifa or Eska or Phuong (Phoenix) or Cuu (Forever) or Lop tiger (Peugeot) with a pump installed along the frame.

Now, the tires and tubes are cheap (except of course for people), tens of thousands of 1 tubes, they do not need to be patched or just replaced and then brought back to patch later. But with a car with a lot of money, who was walking in the middle of the road and suddenly wanted to spray, the replacement of the tube is also necessary, rather than letting the sidewalk workers pull their car out.

Playing a bicycle, you should keep 1-2 tubes. If the distance is often a bit long, bring a bike. It is fine to have a patch kit if it has one, but it cannot always be fixed, there are even some piercings that cannot be fixed. You should also pay attention to the type of valve, if possible, you should buy a valve with a valve like a motorcycle to make it easy to pump. If it is a worm valve type, there should be a switch to the mortar valve.

+ To remove the tire from the rim, you need a tire hook, with a big rim + big arm, you may not need a tire hook but can remove it by hand. The hook should start from the valve seat (after all air is gone and remove the valve pin screw).

+ Finished disassembling, only to install. You install 1 tire first, then insert the inner tube. Pay attention to turn the valve foot screw about ½, after the pump is inflated, then turn the stop. When pumping, you should pay attention to the pre-pump first, check if the tube is deviated or if it is clamped or not, then inflate.

You should fully inflate the tire to get the tire tires in place (for twisted tanh tires, you may need to apply a little soapy water around the edge of the tire). After checking that the tire is all in, then let out a little bit of it.
