WARNING: Whenever possi-
ble, install or remove the tires
only by hand. If this is not possi-
ble, use only tire levers specifical-
ly designed for bicycle wheels.
Any other lever may damage the
tire or rim, resulting in sudden or
future loss of pressure in the tire
which may result in the loss of
control of the bicycle and injury or
death.
-Fit the first of the two beads (7) of
the tire into the rim groove start-
ing from the point opposite the
valve (Fig. A).
-Pour the recommended amount
of TUBELESS tire sealant into the
tire. Refer to the instructions pro-
vided by the tire sealant manufac-
turer or consult your mechanic for
the proper amount of your fluid of
choice.
-Fit the second bead (8) of the tire
into the rim groove starting from
the point opposite the valve and
continue around the whole cir-
cumference of the rim.
CAUTION: To prevent damaging the tire, it is necessary to complete the bead
installation near the valve.
-Check that the tire is correctly po-
sitioned on both sides of the valve
(Fig. B).
-Make sure the tire is correctly po-
sitioned by gently moving it back
and forth on the rim.
-Open the valve (10).
-Inflate the tire until the two beads
go into the correct position. While
this is being done, it may be possi-
ble to hear a popping noise as the
tire settles.
-Make sure the tire is centered and the bead is settled around the entire circumfer-
ence of the wheel.
-Completely deflate and verify that the tire beads stay in place and do not drop to-
wards the rim groove.
