REPAIRING A PUNCTURE
REMOVING TIRES
• Unscrew the valve cover and mounting
nuts and let all of the air out.
• Press the tire from the sidewall towards the
center of the rim. Do this over the entire
circumference to make removing the tire
easier.
• Insert the brake levers on the right and left
side of the valve at the lower edge of the
tire. Keep one lever in this position and pry
the rim bead over the sidewall with the
other lever.
• Now you can remove the tube. Make sure
the valve doesn’t get caught in the rim and
that the tube isn’t damaged.
CHECK TIRE AND APPLY PATCH
• Patch hole according to the instructions
from the patch manufacturer.
• If you have removed the tire, you should
also check the rim tape. It should sit evenly
and must not be cracked or damaged and
should cover all spoke holes. If you have
questions about your rim tape, please ask
your dealer.
MOUNTING TIRE
• Make sure when installing the tire that no
foreign matter such as dirt or sand gets
inside as this could damage the tube.
• Place the rim with a horn in the tire. Press
the tire sidewall completely over the rim.
This should be possible with every tire
without using a tool.
• Insert the valve in the valve hole in the rim.
• Inflate the tube lightly so that it assumes a
round shape. Insert it completely in the tire
being careful not to crease it.
Make sure not to damage the
tube with the levers.
