Thread 2946613

I have an Oyma Power bicycle, and the rear wheel is punctured and needs to be replaced. Problem is, I’ve been watching many videos of replacing the wheel, and none of them fit the mechanism that applies to my bike. Picrel is my model; my mom’s friend gave it to me.

Where did your life go so wrong you can't change a flat on a bike?

>>2946613 (OP)
Wrong board, stud. Try /n/.

>>2946613 (OP)
imagine not being able to generalize?

>dimensions of wheel from wheel frame
>presta or schrader from valve
>get new tub and tube replacement kit for $10
>it probably has instructions
>not be retard, but still be too limp wristed to remove tire
>go pay bike shop $30 to do it for you

>>2946613 (OP)
to repair it you remove the tube and use glue and a patch* on the inner tube
to replace the tube you do the same thing but release the rear sprocket either with a wrench or quick release lever so you can work it around the not chain side of the rear axle
a wheel is the rim, a tire is the rubber part, the intertube the thing you float down a river on before getting stabbed by a boomer
the bead is the solid part of the tire that sits inside the rim channel. to remove the tube for patching or replacement you need to force one side over the rim. there are handly little plastic tools that are included in almost every amazon patch* or tube kit which are meant to assist with this, especially if you have baby hands. putting a very small amount of air in a new tube helps with reinstalling it. don't ever use tire sealant.

*modern quick patches are designed to fail after a few hours and are only meant to get you through a ride. as a kid we rode on patched tires for the life of the bicycle today you just have to get a new tube or constantly fuck with it.

>>2946614
You would know since your life went equally wrong such that you can't explain how to change a flat on a bike.

>>2946658
Lol, I learned how to patch a tube before I was ten. Had to since no one else would. I'm not going to explain something you can google how to fix easily.

>>2946613 (OP)
Call your pimp

>>2946659
Sure I bet your dad totally worked at nintendo and bought you hundreds of bikes so you could practice changing tires on every single kind possible.

>>2946661
You act like every bike in unique. They are not. The axle is either a bolt that is secured with a nut, the old style, or a quick release that has a nut to adjust the tension, the new style. Nothing else is used. Stop being a retard and learn something for once.

>>2946662
>is either a...
Sure you are too retarded to look at OP's picture and figure it out, but you totally know what you are talking about.

>>2946664
If you look at the picture, you see a nut on a bolt. Stop being retarded.

>>2946666
You are the one who listed off a bunch of random nonsense because you didn't look at the picture and couldn't describe it accurately in the first place, lmao. Have you figured out where you life went wrong to make you do things like that yet?

>>2946669
Anon, I can't help you turn a wrench. The internet hasn't gotten that advanced yet.

>>2946672
Yes it has, car mechanics can work remotely, doctors literally perform surgery over the internet, but it doesn't even matter because you can't even identify the correct axle type based on a picture of the axle because you can only poorly mansplain all the possible types of bike axles you know instead.

>>2946679
You seem to be a bit too retarded to fix this on your own. Refer to >>2946666 with my sick quads for the exact solution. Take it to a bike shop and let them charge you probably $100+ to do what takes less than twenty minutes to fix.

>>2946680
Ok, what a great /diy/ problem solver you are:
>derp just take it to someone else because I barely know what bike nuts look like when someone shows me a picture of an axle.

>>2946681
The picture you posted shows a nut. Here, I blew it up so you can see the nut. There's one on each side of the axle. Take them off and the wheel will fall off once you get the chain out of the way. Just like I said here >>2946666
I suggest you take it to someone else since your smooth brain can't comprehend something this basic.

>>2946684
Great job and it only took you a dozen or so posts to notice that the picture was enough to allow you to poorly and hastily explain how to change the tire.

>>2946686
Either troll are completely retarded. Good luck failing at life.

>>2946689
Yea I figured that was why you were having so much difficulty explaining something as simple as changing a flat on a bike that it took you a dozen or posts to say what several anons said in one simple easy to understand post, but great job for finally getting there because you are too lazy/stupid to keep up the charade.

Is this a bot thread or wtf is going on

This is a troll thread. Axle is just the old mtb solid bolt, no quick release neither the new thru axle. That just has a inside nut, a couple flanges and loose bearings, maybe caged since this is 2025 and even chinks wouldn't dare using such obsolete tech.

>>2946661
How is that surprising? It's literally information that gets passed down not by your father but by your brothers, cousins or slightly older neighbor friends. Riding a bicycle and destroying its tires and rims is a childhood key memory of any boy, as is replacing or plugging punctured inner tubes. If you had a major problem like a fucked up crank or bottom bracket you would take it to the mean, fat, cheap and old bike "mechanic" that would fix it with a hammer. Or with a bigger hammer. Then you would keep bothering him to sell you that chromed bmx that someone had left in his shop for over a year.

Fuck me I miss those times so much it's unreal.

Now tell us what you had to end up doing to convince Mr. Horton, The Bicycle Man, to give you that bike back in the day, Arnold.

You can go to Walmart or any bike shop and just ask for what you need to do the job. Have wheel dimensions on hand.

I replaced my tires about twice, tubes about 8 times, and patched them probably over 20 while in college. Rode 3,600 miles total. I bought tires and tubes from Walmart. Maybe consider getting higher quality (thickness) tubes and tires if you ride a lot.

>>2946714
He didn't sell it, this was back in the day and I offered only like 10 bucks.

>>2946658
I was replacing and repairing bicycle tires and tubes, when I was 10 or 11, back when they used hot patches to fix leaking tires. god I miss hot patches. clamp the tube with the patch. light it and wait for it to burn out. best thing ever invented.

>>2946661
you are a fucking moron. you have no business trying to fix anything. find a man to fix it for you.

>>2946690
what kind of fucked up idiot are you that you can't fix something without the help of a dozen internet suckers? yet insult people who tell you how to fix something? DIAF.

>>2946613 (OP)
How did it go OP?
Did you do it?

"mom's friend"?

you CAN repair a flat without removing wheel, but likely PIA.

I was fixing my flats when I was 6yrs old.

Others are correct, they are all basically same shit.

PS stay away from Slime. fucking fibers will make valve stem leak.

Its "perfect" when you install it without valve core and pump up, but the first time you let air OUT via installed core, it will let fibers into valve and that will cause slow leak in Schrader AND presta.

What is Slime tire sealant made of?
Tire sealant mixtures that include a viscous mixture of liquid and fibers typically clog Presta valves. A commercially available viscous-fiber tire sealant composition, SLIME 1 from Access Marketing of Shell Beach, Calif., contains propylene glycol, man-made fibers, a corrosion inhibitor, and a biocide.

>>2946613 (OP)
What the hell kind of retarded up bike is that?

>>2946613 (OP)
please tell me your "mom's friend" is black

OP here,
He's actually a really nice guy.
