you can fix a flat tire yourself. It is advisable to always
carry a repair kit and an air pump for emergencies.
Suitable air pumps can be purchased at your
specialty store. An alternative would be a puncture
repair spray which fills your tire with setting foam
(available at the specialty store).
Dismounting
In case of a flat tire, remove the tire carefully from the
rim with suitable mounting tools. Make sure not to
damage the rim or the tube in the process.
Repair
or
Repair the tube according to the indications given
on the reparation set, or replace it with a new one.
Examine the rim and the interior of the tire for foreign
objects which may have caused the flat tire.
Only use rim bands which are in perfect condition to
protect the tube from damage caused by spoke ends.
Mounting
Push the rim band over the valve and place the valve
into the rim. Unscrew the valve screw nut. Now you
can draw up the rim band effortlessly. Make sure that
all spoke ends are covered.
Now push the lower tire part over the bead of the rim.
Inflate the tire until round. Insert the weakly inflated
tube into the tire cover. Check the tube for smooth
fit. Then you can easily mount the upper part of the
tire behind the bead of the rim with both hands. Start
with the part of the valve which is faced away.
