1. Examine the tire, rim tape, and the rim for defects, dirt, or debris.

3. Place the inner tube in the tire so that it is inside the tire all the way around. Insert
the valve stem through the hole in the rim.
4. With your hands only, push one side of the tire over the rim. Make sure the tube is
now inside the rim and reinstall the valve nut.
5. Push the other side of the tire over the rim. Do not use a tire lever or sharp object.

completely inside the tire.
