How to fix punctures on a hub gear bike


I could have done with this article yesterday, just for the bit where it tells you how to remove the cable carrier. I swore at a Shimano Nexus 7-speed for a good hour before realising the one simple thing I had to do so it would go back together again. Remember- always line up the dots.

Also learnt yesterday- Swedish inches would appear to be larger than English ones. The 26″ x 1.5″ tyre I bought from Clas Ohlson was of a larger diameter than the 26″ x 1.5″ one it was supposed to replace. Bear these extended inches in mind next time you meet a Swedish gentleman.
