Tyre removal
Remove the cap and the fastening nut off the valve and deflate the tyre com-
pletely. Press the tyre from the sides towards the centre of the rim around its
entire circumference. This will ease the removal.
Apply a plastic tyre lever to one bead of the tyre about 5cm beside the valve
(d) and lever the tyre out of the rim in this area. Hold the tyre lever tight in its
position. Slip the second tyre lever between rim and tyre at a distance of about
ten centimetres on the other side of the valve and lever the next portion of the
bead over the edge of the rim (e).
After levering a part of the tyre bead over the edge of the rim you should
normally be able to slip off the whole tyre on one side by moving the tyre lever
around the whole circumference. Now you can remove the inner tube (f). Make
sure the valve does not get caught in the rim, as this can damage the inner tube.
If necessary you can remove the whole tyre by pulling the other tyre bead off
the rim.
Repair the puncture according to the manuals of the repair kit manufacturer or
replace the inner tube by a new one.
When you have removed the tyre, you should also check the rim tape. It should
lie squarely in the rim trough, covering all spoke nipples, and should neither be
damaged nor brittle.
