tire is correct. This connection must be even more secure than that of the conventional tire. If
you are using tire levers, be careful not to damage the rim or the tire itself. If any of the surfaces
is scratched, installing the tire could cause leaking problems.

Installing the valve
- Align the holes of the rim and the rim tape for the valve.
- Align the valve head with the holes above and push the valve through the rim tape and rim.
- Screw the tubeless valve stem lock nut with your hand. There should be no space between the
rim and the valve.
- Check that the rim tape is properly in place.
Installing tubeless tires
- We recommend dampening the rim and tire with soap and water to facilitate installation.
- Starting with the area opposite the valve, insert one side of the tire inside the rim.
- Repeat this action with the other side of the tire.

- Most tires have lines or markings just above the chafer.
- When the tire is properly positioned, these markings should be uniform around the rim.

WARNING If tubeless tire pressure is low, you could lose control and fall. Do not use tires with
under 2atm of pressure.
Removing tubeless tires
The area of the rim where the tire rests is very thin. Therefore, you will need to rotate the tire to
remove it from the rim.
Allow all of the air to be released from the tire.
Spin the tire while removing one of the beads of the tire from the rim. Once it has come out
completely, remove the other bead, starting at the valve.
Installing an inner tube and tire
A standard tire can be used with an inner tube.
Make sure the rim tape is covering all spoke ends and nipples.
Install the inner tube and tire as you normally would.
Converting to a tubeless tire
- Remove the tire and inner tube.
- Make sure the rim tape is covering all spoke openings.
- Follow the instructions for installing a valve.
