How To Remove The Front Wheel of a Bicycle

This is a quick tutorial showing how to remove the front wheel of a bike. I've done my best to show several different styles of brakes and wheel axles so that this video will be
helpful for just about everyone.

I hope you found this video helpful, let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for Watching!

I love that you covered different kinds of wheels and breaks, and were also really thorough about your explanation. I'm a total bike newbie, so this was really helpful.

I searched a bunch of videos and you are the only one who began with how to loosen the brakes so the tire could fit through to remove it. That's the part that was hanging me up and right away I found the answer, so thank you. 👍

12 years later you are helping us bike newbies — thank you for the slow verbal explanations of things, very very helpful

As a novice bike fixer-upper person thank you so much! 🙂 Very thoroughly shown and explained for different bike configurations.

Amazing video! Explained throughout very thoughtfully and the video shooting and editing is top notch with no annoying distraction. It’s sad to see that the quality of how to videos has greatly diminished in this day and age. Thank you!

Thank you! Was just needing to put my bike in my car but couldn’t figure out how to release the brake so that I could get the front wheel off. Your video saved the day and I was able to continue with my plans. Grateful for the power of the Internet, YouTube university and generous creators like you!!!

Thank you so much!! I just bought my daughter a bicycle and the instructions were horrible on how to put the front tire on getting it past the disc brake 🤦🏼‍♀️ praise God for YouTube videos!

Thank you. I couldn’t figure out how to loosen the brakes. So glad I don’t have to ask someone, I can get it done.

Thank you man! Especially, I needed to see a tutorial on older bikes without a quick release and you showed that on the last example. That's a big help!

Thank you for posting this tutorial, I've done it once before but completely forgot how to get my tire off!

holly shit, thx for including the nuts and bolts variant. 7 other tutorials were like "yeah, there is also nuts and bolts type. The end."

I knew there had to be a better way to remove the tire without deflating it. Worked on the first try. Great how-to, THANKS!!
