-Install the wheel, preferably on a
frame or truing stand to center the
wheels. Clean the inside of the rim
with a cloth dampened with alcohol
in order to degrease the channel in-
side the rim.

TUBELESS kit, starting the tape
halfway between 2 nipple holes (2).

wheel while installing the tape. (3)
Make sure the tape stays in the
middle of the rim channel. The tape
should make two complete rota-
tions around the rim so that each
part of the rim is covered by two
layers of tape. Check the tape to
make sure it is fastened to the rim
at all points.
-Cut the tape (1).
-Make sure the tape is in the middle
of the rim channel and not protrud-

in diameter than the valve to make a
hole (4) in the tape where the valve
hole is found in the rim.

nut (6).
-Insert the valve (5) bringing it
against the rim channel. Tighten the
valve nut (6) from the opposite side
