Having a punctured inner tube on your bicycle can be a frustrating experience. Fortunately, replacing the punctured inner tube of a bicycle wheel is a simple process that can be learned easily. Before we get started, you need to ensure that you have the right tools. These tools include a new inner tube, tire levers, a bicycle pump, and possibly a wrench (if you have a bolt-on wheel). Once you have all the tools, follow the following steps:

1. Remove the wheel from the bike
The first step in replacing the inner tube is to remove the wheel from the bike. This is done by flipping the bike upside down or placing it on a repair stand. You can use a wrench to loosen the bolts or quick release lever to detach the wheel.

2. Remove the tire from the rim
Once you have the wheel off, you need to remove the tire from the rim. To do this, use the tire levers to pry the tire away from the rim. Place one lever on the side of the tire, and then slide it along until you reach the other side. Repeat the process until the tire is detached from the rim.

3. Remove the punctured tube
After the tire is removed, you will be able to see the inner tube. Carefully remove the tube from the rim by loosening the valve stem first. Then, gently pull out the tube from inside the tire. This should be done carefully to avoid damaging the rim and tire.

4. Inspect the tire and rim
Before proceeding, it is important to inspect the tire and rim for any damage that may have caused the puncture. If the tire has any cuts or punctures, it should also be replaced. Check the rim for any damage, such as sharp edges or burrs, which may have caused the puncture. If necessary, sand the rim to remove any sharp edges.

5. Insert the new inner tube
Take the new inner tube and insert it into the tire. Carefully align the valve stem with the valve hole in the rim. Once the tube is in place, tuck the tire back into the rim using your hands. Be careful not to pinch the tube between the tire and the rim.

6. Inflate the tire
Once the tire is in place, it can be inflated. Use a bicycle pump to inflate the tire to the recommended pressure that is marked on the sidewall of the tire. This should be done slowly, checking that the tire is mounted properly. If you hear hissing, it means the tube is getting pinched or otherwise is not seated properly. Let the tire down and try again.

7. Replace the tire onto the rim
After inflating the tire, use the tire levers to push the tire back onto the rim, starting at one side and working your way to the other.

8. Reinstall the wheel
Finally, reinstall the wheel back onto the bike. Align the brake pads and ensure that the wheel is straight before tightening the bolts or the quick release lever.

In conclusion, replacing the punctured inner tube on a bicycle can be done easily with a few simple steps. Always remember to check the tire and rim for damage before installing a new inner tube.
