5.3 Routine maintenance
If punctured:
When a tire is punctured, air leakage may be slow and not immediate allowing you, in
some cases, to keep on riding back home.
With standard tire with inner tube:
Replace it with a new one following the directions given in paragraph 2.1.
With TUBELESS tire:
Remember that a TUBELESS tire can be repaired by putting on a patch, anti-puncture
spray or a new inner tube.
5.3.1 Putting in an inner tube
-Completely deflate the tire.
-Starting from the side opposite the
valve, press one side of the tire with
your hands until the bead (18) is re-
leased from its seat. Let it drop into
the rim groove.
-Continue around the entire wheel
circumference.
-Starting from the valve, pull the tire
until it comes off the rim. Use tire le-
vers if needed.
-Continue around the entire wheel
circumference.
-Remove the valve cap (21).
-Unscrew the valve nut (19) of the
TUBELESS valve (20) and remove.
CAUTION: The inner tube must
be fitted with a Presta valve
(°6.5 mm)
WARNING: Never drill the rim for a larger valve hole or drill other holes in the
rim.
The rim will be irreparably damaged and may even collapse as a result.
