That's a NO-NO.Ī small can of wd-40 is a must to carry on for ebike repairs/flats while out and about.Īnd that's the Pro Tips for ebike rear wheel removing. Just do not press the rear brake while the wheel is off. It's much easier to take the rear wheel out put it back in like that. Now, on the road, for flat repair when ebike is upside down, the grips will get a little debris but that's easy to clean and u'd have the ebike in a proper position to work on. When it's upside down, remove the display or tilt it it's not removAble so that is totaly out of the way when the handlebar is inverted and place a small towel to protect the seat that's all that's needed
But in reality we need to protect our investment and actually place it in a secure position. In the vid, the guy is holding the ebike with 1 hand and the wheel with another. If u just remove the rear wheel with the ebike standing, u'd have to leave it on it's side or worst leaving it standing on the rear derailleur, potentially damaging it. When we give it a lateral push we r releasing that pressure and can xtract the wheel now. The wrench helps but most of the time it's the rear triangle or the seat stays/chain stays holding the rear wheel tightly.They r designed for that. There is also a technique here in order to do it easily ! But since most of us don't use a bike stand just turn it upside down. Update: a bit amateurish the vid ! U always tilt the ebike upside down or put it on the stand. I have yet to watch the vid, but is prob. Not it will be easy, just pull the wheel up if ebike is upside down. , while holding with one hand on to the rear frame preferabbly the chain stays give the rear wheel a good LATERAL push either from left to right or right to left usually u'd PUSH IT LATERALLY it at the 12/3 or 9 o' clock position that will disloged it from the frame. U would put some wd-40 on each side and on outside/inside of the axle/frame junction, wait 10-15sec. You must pull it back by hand when removing wheels because it won't stay in place on its own.W/o going into the obvious details such as unplugging the cables/chain in smallest cog/power OFF, this r the PRO TIPS: Note: To clearly show the desired derailleur position, we locked it in place and didn't show the hand.
This is the secret to easy wheel removal. Lastly: Pull back the derailleur with your hand to get it, and the chain, out of the way so the wheel won't hang up on anything when you open the quick release and remove the wheel. P ull the derailleur back and remove the wheel And, again, if you have disc brakes, you can skip this step!ģ. Open cantilever brakes (these feature a cable that runs over the top of the tire) by lifting the cable end on one side out of its holder. Look for this if there's no lever on the brake. Some sidepulls are opened by pressing a button on the lever. For linear-pulls (also called "V-brakes") lift the end of the "noodle" out of its holder ( photo b). To prevent this, open sidepull brakes by fully rotating the little lever on the brake upwards ( photo a). On most bikes with rim brakes (not disc brakes), when you try to remove the wheel, the tire bumps into the brake pads. If you're not riding, shift the levers (one at a time), lift the bike by the seat and pedal by hand to shift the chain. If you're riding, shift as you slow to a stop so that the chain is on the smallest rear cog and the smallest chainring in front. This creates slack in the chain, which makes wheel removal much easier. Shift onto the small cog and small chainring Anyone can remove a rear wheel and it won't affect shifting or the chain. Afraid to take off your rear wheel to fit the bike in a trunk or fix a flat, because you think you'll mess up the chain or shifting? Relax.
