My back wheel was unaligned tilting towards the metal triangle part and was scrapping off some of the rubber from the wheel so I centered it. Similar to the bike seat just unloosening using the lever. Great thanks this video helped me directly with what I needed.

Thank you so much. Your information helped me to restore my 15 yo bikes to look and ride like new. The chain does make small squeaky noise but that's for not maintaining it. I'm going to replace it soon. My 7 yo bike got a flat after 3 miles from home. So I had to fixed it on the road. He was so glad I know how to do it. Thank you again. Alex – Awesome site.

The back wheel usually just sits on the rollers. If not, post a photo of your trainer to the <a href="http://forums.bicycletutor.com/" rel="nofollow">help forums</a> so we can see what you'll need. Solid axles can be converted to quick release axles by changing the axle (requires a <a href="http://bicycletutor.com/overhaul-wheel-bearings/" rel="nofollow">hub overhaul</a> and a replacement hollow axle and quick release skewer.

I also hope you can help me. I have two mountain bikes both have the standard bolts and shafts on both front and back. I would like to change them to quick release levers so they can be used with a Training machine. How do I change them to quick release? Do I need to change out the whole hub to do it?

Please can you help me with identification of terms like: 1. "Then loosen the quick release lever and carefully removed the wheel." - hmm where to find the quick release lever for rear wheel? please can you guide by a picture with arrow. 2. "slide the axle evenly up into the rear dropouts." Please i am lost here, a picture of the part with arrow would help people like me. 3. "Make sure the lever is safely tucked in between both of the left chain stays" What is a chain stay, and how to do this? Sorry i am very beginner in bikes and don't know a word of it. Can you help me. Cheers and Thanks Nice place to learn about bikes…

I new to cycling and seeing a video is so much easier to understand than reading text. One comment, though, your bikes are mounted upright on a frame: as newbies I will usually turn the bike upside down. Please show the "how to's" in this manner. Mahalo!! Terrific and helpful website!
