If the front brake is equipped with straddle wire, which is removed with ease, do it without forgetting to reset the brake after. Bike tire repair is simple and easy.

The last step is to tighten the two axle nuts slowly until if holds the new tire or wheel strongly in its proper place. Also, a washer on each side between the axle nut and outside fork is important.
