of the valve. Press the tire on the rim mak

ing sure not to pinch the tube between the
rim and the tire. Push the tube repeatedly
into the interior of the tire.
• Work both sides evenly around the circum

ference of the wheel. Towards the end you
will need to press the tire down firmly. Pull
the already mounted portion deep into the
rim as this facilitates mounting the last few
centimeters.
• Check again to make sure the tube is well
seated and press the tire with your palm
over the rim bead. If this fails, you must use
tire levers. Make sure that the dull side is
facing the tube so as not to damage it.
• Press the valve into the interior of the tire
so that the tube is not pinched between
the tire and rim.
• Is the valve facing straight up? If it is not
remove one side of the tire and readjust
the tube. If you want to make sure that the
tube is not crushed under the edge, you
should halfway inflate the tire and roll it
back and forth around the circumference of
the wheel.
• Pump up the tire to the desired pressure.
The maximum pressure is indicated on the
sidewall of the tire.
• Check the fit of the tire specifically the wire
(or Kevlar) bead against the sidewall of the
rim. The important thing is that the whole
tire has a uniform distance from the rim.
