How does a bicycle tube valve work?
Bicycle tube valves are one-way valves. They let air pass one way, then holds it in.

How do you change a flat tire on a bicycle?
Video: How do you change a bicycle tire?Changing a flat tireWhen changing a flat tire on your bicycle, the first thing you want to do is disengage your braking system. You can disengage your brakes by squeezing them together and removing the cable from its holder. Next, you will use the quick release to remove the wheel from the bicycle. The quick release is very easy to use. You flip the lever open, unthread it, and your wheel will come right off.Now, you are ready to change your flat. Make sure you have the correct size of tire inner tube for your bike. In addition, you will need tire levers. Tire levers make changing the tire on a bike much easier.Next, you will need to remove the tire from the bicycle. If the tire is not completely flat, you will need to remove all the excess air from the inner tube before taking it off the frame. Release the air by pushing down on the pin inside the tire's air valve. Then squeeze the tire all the way around to make sure all the air is out.Now, you're ready to insert your tire levers. Take one tire lever, and insert the thin end of it between the tire and the rim. Pull the lever down and clip the hook onto the nearest spoke. Then move over two spokes and repeat the process with a second tire lever. Move over two more spokes and repeat the process with a third tire lever. Then, you can take the first lever out, move over two spokes from the third lever and repeat the process. Work around one entire side of the wheel like this until the tire is free from the rim on one side.When one side of the tire is off the frame, pull the other side off with your hands, and then completely remove the tire from the frame. Now, you can remove the old inner tube from the tire by simply pulling it out of the tire with your hand.The most important thing when changing a flat is to check and see what caused the flat. Carefully inspect the tire to see if you can find what was causing the flat. Do this by gently running your fingers along the inside of the tire to look for any sharp objects. Be very careful while you're doing this and pay attention so as not to jab yourself with any sharp object that may be inside the tire. If you find something, remove it from the tire so you don't damage the new inner tube.Now, you are ready to insert the new inner tube into your tire. With a bicycle pump, you want to put a couple pumps of air in the new tube just to give it shape. Then, put the new tube in your tire. Find the hole in the rim for the inflation valve, and pull the valve on the tube through the hole in the rim. Then, pull the tire over the wheel.You will need to work around the wheel with your fingers, pushing one side of the tire into the rim. Once you have one side of the tire on the rim, check to make sure the inner tube is not pinched anywhere in between the tire and the rim. If it is, you will need to gently pull it out.When one side of the tire is done, turn the wheel over, and work around the other side of the tire with your thumbs to push the wheel back onto the rim. It may get more difficult as you go along because the tire will become taut, but just push firmly with your thumbs until the tire is in place.After the tire is on your bicycle, you are ready to re-inflate it with an air pump to its recommended pressure.Then put the tire back on your bike, and reattach the braking tube.
How do you remove a bike tire?
Deflate tube, pinch tire inwards so that the bead loosens from the rim. Use a tire iron/tire lever to lift one edge of the tire over the lip of rim. Work your way around. Once one lip is off the other can usually be pulled off by sheer force. There's bound to be a nice video about on Bicycle Tutor, see link below.

Can a 26 inch bike frame use a 27 inch tire?
MAYBE - , frame size has nothing to do with tire size. Style does, and if its a mountain bike, it will not work with a 27 (road racing) wheel and tire. Brakes will not fit.
Should inner tube be inflated outside the tire?
It doesn't hurt to inflate a tube outside the tire (assuming you use low pressure - you can't inflate it to the same pressure that you could when it's in a mounted tire!), if that's what you are asking. If you are asking about the recommended procedure to replace an inner tube, you want to have the inner tube (mostly) deflated, then put it in the tire and mount the tire. Then partially inflate and deflate the inner tube (so it can move and work twists out). (I usually pull the valve out and go through a few inflate/deflate cycles so the tube can situate itself. Then I replace the valve and fill the tire.)
What is the work of the valve tube in bicycle tubes?
The valve is a one-way system. It allows the cyclist to inflate the inner tube with a pump - while preventing air from escaping.
How the heck are you supposed to take a fricken tube out of a bike?
Deflate tube, pinch tire inwards so that the bead loosens from the rim. Use a tire iron/tire lever to lift one edge of the tire over the lip of rim. Work your way around. Once one lip is off you can reach in and get the tube out. I'll post a link to pics of the process.
Can you fit a 20 inch tire on a 19.5 rim?
No. That is very dangerous and will not work.No. That is very dangerous and will not work.
Can you put a 13.50 wide tire on a 9.5 inch wide rim?
No it will not work. Very dangerous to even try.
