- Mounting tires
Improperly mounted tires can cause a dangerous accident
Tires should be mounted only by qualified mechanics
Guidelines for mounting clincher tires:
1 Compatibility
The rim is compatible for clincher tires of 23-28 mm width.
2 Preparation
Check the rim tape for fit and condition, and replace if damaged or
defective. The rim tape must be properly aligned in the tire bed and
around the valve hole. Rim tape size is 622 x 20.
3 Mounting the tire and inner tube
Ensure that the tire bead is hooked properly in to the sidewalls of the
rim and seated correctly. Be careful not to pinch the inner tube between
the tire bead and rim. Avoid using sharp tools to lever tires on-they are
likely to damage the tire, inner tube, or rim.
4. Dismounting the tire
Avoid using sharp tools like screwdrivers to remove tires.
They can damage the tire bead and rim.
