pressing the valve towards the inside. This is necessary
to avoid air pockets forming between tube and tire (Fig.
5.6-1).
Ensure that the tire is correctly centered on the rim.
STOP THE COMPRESSED AIR AS SOON AS THE
BEADS GRIP THE RIM WELL.
• Place the wheel in a type approved cage to " nish
in! ating and completely settle the beads in their seats
on the rim.
5.4 Demounting tube-type tires
