Bike Tire Valve/Spoke issue Anon 2015-12-29 19:19:35 Post No. 16617867 [Report]
My Raleigh 3.0's front tire is a little light on air right now, causing me to "bump" with every turn. So I decided to put some air in it. Only to discover that the Schrader valve is angled into one of the spokes. This makes it impossible to properly fit the pump on, and so I can't get any air in. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

Bleed all the air out of the tire by sticking something sharp and skinny into the schrader nipple, reposition valve because it will be loose, refill with air.

Or if the tube is flat, you need a pair of plastic bike tire levers and a new tube and you can replace it yourself. Google it or go to a bike shop, they will have both those things and might even show you how to do it.
