2. Removing the tyre and inner tube – Unscrew the valve cap from the valve.
Allow the remaining air to escape from the inner tube. Place the tyre lever on
the inner edge of the tyre opposite the valve. Lever the tyre sidewall over the
rim flange. Push the second tyre lever between the rim and tyre approx. 10
cm away from the first one. Continue levering the tyre off the rim until the tyre
has detached round the entire circumference. Take the inner tube out of the
tyre.
3. Spare tyres and tubes – refer to side wall of tyre.
4. Fitting the tyre and inner tube – Make sure that the rim tape covers the
spoke nipples and is undamaged. Put the rim with one edge inside the tyre.
Push one side of the tyre completely into the rim. Insert the valve through the
valve hole in the rim and fit the inner tube inside the tyre. Push the tyre over
the rim sidewall. Pull the tyre forcefully into the centre of the rim. The area that
has already been fitted will slip into the base of the rim. Check once again that
the inner tube is seated correctly. Push the other side of the tyre completely
over the rim flange using the heel of your hand. Inflate the inner tube slightly.
Check that the tyre is correctly seated and is true using the indicator ring on
the rim sidewall. Adjust the seating of the tyre by hand if it does not run
straight. Inflate the inner tube up to the recommended tyre pressure.
5. Pumping the tyre – Unscrew the valve cap to inflate the tyre. Inflate to the
recommended tyre pressure (refer to sidewall of tyre). The optimum and
maximum pressure values are also embossed on the sidewall of the tyre.
Never exceed the maximum value! When inflating tyres out and about, if you
press your thumbs hard into the inflated tyres, there should not be much give.
6. Front wheel reinstallation –Place wheel on dropout ensuring that the disc
slides neatly into the calliper (do not force it). Tighten the quick release finger
tight. Check that the brake is working.
Rear Wheel
1. Removing the rear wheel – Unplug the motor cable. Shift the gears so the
chain is on the smallest gear (7). Loosen the wheel nuts with a #15 spanner.
Remove the C-Clips of the shifting cable underneath the chain stay. Pull the
derailleur gently towards the back of the bike to make the chain slack and
remove the rear wheel from the rear dropout.
2. Installing the rear wheel – Press the derailleur down to open the chain and
create slack. Place the chain on the smallest gear of the wheel and pull the
wheel up, keeping it straight. Adjust the wheel so the axle fits snug within the
dropouts on the frame. Fit the fixing washers so the projections precisely
engage in the slits in the dropouts on the front or rear of the axle. Ensuring the
wheel is centred, tighten the wheel nuts to 30-40Nm with a #15 spanner.
