2.3. Rear wheels
2.3.1 24" & 22" wheels
The 24" (610 mm) rear wheels are spoked or composite
wheels; the 22" (550 mm) wheels are only spoked wheels.
They can be delivered with pneumatic or solid tyre.
The 24" spoked wheels can optionally accommodate spoke
guards to prevent injuring the fingers during propulsion.
A flat tyre (photo 21) must be removed in order to be
repaired. Remove the rim assembly (tyre and inner tube),
repair or replace the inner tube, reinsert in the tyre and
reposition the assembly on the rim.
Comply with the inflation pressure specified on the sidewall
of the tyre.
Note : remember that in order to maintain the
interchangeability of the chair wheels equipped with quick-
release axles, the pressure in the two tyres should be the
same.
