How to remove and install your front tire?

If you happen to have the unfortunate circumstance of finding yourself with a flat rear tire, you will need to know how to remove it so you can take it for repair. Just follow the following instructions:

Remember that if you don't feel completely comfortable removing the tire yourself, you can always take your Pulse to a workshop.

What you will need

  1. 19mm wrench

  2. Side cutting pliers

  3. Tying cable

Removing the rear tire

Before removing the tire make sure that:

  1. Your Pulse is off

  2. Change your speed to star 7 (the one with the smallest mechanism)

Process to remove

  1. Flip your Pulse

  2. With the wrench, loosen the nut that stops the rim (on the brake disc side)

  3. Check that the nut locator is facing up and into the frame.

  4. On the other side (of the stars) cut the motor cable clip and disconnect the cable.

  5. Completely remove the nut (on the star drive side) with the wrench.

  6. Remove the screw and other obstructions that are on the cable.

  7. You will find a gorilla grip, made of plastic. Remove it and keep it close to you.

  8. Stretch the shifting mechanism, mobile and while doing so, pull on the tire to remove it carefully.

  9. Make sure the nut locator is facing up.

  10. This is how the rear tire is removed.

Reinsertion process

  1. Be sure to reinsert the tire on the same side you removed it from to ensure the motor cable is on the correct side.

  2. Make sure the nut locator is facing up.

  3. Reinsert the tire, remembering that the cable should go in the middle of the chain and place the chain in the smallest mechanism (as when you removed it) i.e. #. 7

  4. Slide the tire back

  5. Check that, on the brake disc side, the rim has fitted correctly and the rod is resting in the corresponding slot in the frame, with the nut, on one side, slightly loose, allowing it to fit.

  6. Tighten the nut on the disc side first with your fingers, then with the wrench.

  7. On the shift mechanism side, reinsert your gorilla grip, and the corresponding nuts and tighten them by hand and then with the wrench.

  8. Reconnect the motor cable, delicately. The cable port only fits in a certain way, do not force it.

  9. Replace the tie, stopping the motor cable with the frame.

  10. Make sure the shift mechanism moves correctly.

  11. Test the tire by turning the pedals.

  12. You have finished reinserting the tire. Congratulations!
