What type of valve does this inner tube have?

How do I install the inner tube?

Carefully insert the tube into the tire, avoiding any pinching. Use tire levers if necessary and be careful not to damage the tube during installation.

How do I find the correct tire pressure?

The recommended tire pressure is usually printed on the sidewall of your tire. Always inflate to the recommended pressure.

How can I prevent punctures?

Regularly inspect your tires for any signs of damage, avoid riding over sharp objects, and ensure your tires are properly inflated.

What should I do if my tire gets a flat?

First, find the source of the puncture. Repair the tube with a patch kit or replace the inner tube if the damage is severe.

How often should I check the tire pressure?

Check your tire pressure at least once a week or before each ride.

How do I store the spare inner tube?

Troubleshooting

Tire deflates quickly.

Check for punctures by submerging the inflated tube in water or by listening for escaping air. Patch any holes with a tire repair kit or replace the tube.

Valve leaks air.

Tighten the valve core using a valve core tool. If the leak persists, replace the valve core or the entire tube.

Difficulty inflating the tire.

Ensure the valve is clean and not blocked. Make sure the pump is properly attached to the Schrader valve. Lubricate the valve with silicone spray.
