I know nothing about bicycle assembly and have never changed a bicycle tire. Will it be difficult for me to set this up & later use bike on street?

No problem your bike will not be changed unless the rear skewer doesn't work which is unlikely and there is nothing to changing that. There is a skewer in the box if you need it. I run an older rear wheel that has a very worn tire which works very well.

The Kurt kinetic arrives fully assembled, and it's very easy to mount and unmount. The question now is, do you have a quick release or nut and bolt set up for your back tire?

The assembly process is very easy ... to set up the bike on it, it is also not difficult. The hardest part might be to change the shaft of the rear wheel with the shaft that comes with the trainer, but I personally do not think that I would not buy it because I was afraid of the assembly process.

You don't have to change your tire. You just need to replace the quick release skewer from your bike has the plastic end caps for a metal one. It simply slides out.

After the road machine is initially set up, the process to set up the bike is simple. The illustrations make the directions very easy.

Have a complete front end alignment performed after installation and there will be no issues with alignment and tire wear. I would not recommend installation without an alignment immediately after.

That question goes beyond my knowledge. I would advise you to ask your bike mechanic or LBS (local bike shop), although you would think that the bike rim would be a reliable indicator of the size tire to install. I'm going to "punt" on that question.

No sure. I have not install anything besides what came on it. The wheels are road wheels. So you would have to replace tire and wheel. I you are wanting a wider tire. This bike is built like a road bike. The only thing that makes it a hybrid is the straight handle bar.

I would recommend getting a standard bicycle tire pump. This pump does not have the ness essay fitting to pump up a tire.

That's for the diameter of the tire. This larger diameter would only matter if it would force you to buy new tubes, or if for your tire is already extremely tight in your frame. These diameters are so close together that I think you won't have any trouble with this new tire.

Very little set up required. The support arm snap up and clips in place. The spools move in or out to fit the width of the tire. Bike should be in line with the support arm and not a angle. I have found the bike is well supported for flat areas like a garage or in your house. This is not suitable for use to transport the bike in a car, truck or van.

Yes Margaret. You will need to put on the fenders, seat and handlebars (and adjust accordingly), front wheel and pedals. After that, adjust the breaks. It's important to have all the tools needed and make sure you have all the parts. I was missing a few and had to go purchase them before I could finish the assembly. Another option is to take it to a bike shop and have them do it for you - including an initial tune up.

While the tires can be used tubeless, your wheels dictate that an inner tube needs to be used. Yes I always replace the inner tube when replacing a bike tire. For the minor amount of cost you have lots of peace of mind. My wife has a Vulcan cruiser and just loves these tires. Way better than stock rubber from Kawasaki(Dunlops)

Bike requires assembly. I would not recommend based on poor turn radius, when trying to turn more than 15 degrees or so the front tire swings very close to the peddles and will catch your foot. there is no length adjustment for the distance between the two tires or the tires and the peddle gears.

It might seam over whelming at first. But there are only 3 pieces to the wheel. The two halves with the prongs already attached and the tire. If you cut the washer/sleeves for the screws that are molded together with the wheel, it will be easier to assemble .One or two trials will get the tire to stretch properly. Make sure the screws are properly tightened. Check it after each use also. Loose screws will affect the wheel stability and break the wheel. Good Luck.

Recommend buy the spokes, (freewheel remover & rim , asneeded) and build yourself. It is not that hard and there are a few good books that explain the various techniques.For the cost of a handful of spokes and about 2 hours work you will not only have a good wheel, but also the experience and understanding for keeping wheels round and true; which all regular riders should have.The Bike Buff

I have had trouble in the past with getting the tires to fit a small rim....they are wide. I would encourage trying it out at a bike shop first before ordering them. I was able to get them on my bike but mine were 700x28c. That is the smallest I think i would go. They were somewhat difficult to fit....and barely did at that!

Yes with a simple modification. Use a mider saw And two 2x4s drill and sandpaper. Sand down the back half of your bike screw in the 2x4s and weld a 2x3 inch plate to the tire. That should do it.

Instructions are included. The bike is mostly assembled. If you understand how a bike works, you will not have any problem.

You will have to check with local shops. Some shops are reluctant to mount tires they did not sell, others don't seem to mind ....for a price. I have a local shop that will mount them for $10 if I bring in the wheels. I also have a friend with a tire machine & we usually change them ourselves.Call around before you buy is my best advice.

if you know a little about bikes you can just switch the back wheel, you must know how to tighten the chain though, witch is the real challange, i would just take it to a bike shop, they shoulnt charge you more than 15 dollars
