Using Wheelsystems With Standard Tires, Inner Tubes And Rim Tapes - Giant WheelSystem Manual

7. To achieve the best cycling performance, we strongly recommend to use Giant Tubeless
System products (rim tape, tubeless valves, tubeless sealant, and tubeless tires) in combination
with your Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem. Giant Tubeless System products can be
purchased from your Giant bicycle retailer.
WARNING: Use of a non-Tubeless tire without an inner tube may result in premature tire
abrasion or rapid air leakage.
WARNING: Use of a tubeless tire with Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem without a rim
tape and tubeless valve will result in inflation failure.
WARNING: We strongly recommend not to use tire levers when mounting the tubeless tire,
to prevent structural damage of tire and rim which may result in inflation failure.
WARNING: Use of a tubeless tire with Giant Tubeless Ready WheelSystem without sealant
may result in poor air tightness and puncture repairing functionality failure.
WARNING: To achieve the best puncture repairing performance, we strongly recommend you
to use Giant sealant. Using non-Giant sealant may result in corrosion(tire, rim, and rim tape) or
sticky tire and rim, which may lead to abnormal disassembly.
Using Giant WheelSystems with standard tires, inner
tubes and rim tapes:
1. Instead of using the tubeless valve, which can be removed from the rim, only an inner tube with
a Presta type valve (small valve, Ø 6.5mm) fits into the valve hole of the Giant rim. Never drill
out the valve hole or enlarge it in any other way.
2. Select rim tapes, inner tubes and tires which comply with ETRTO dimensions to be used with
the Giant WheelSystem and install them as instructed by the manufacturer. Do not use latex
inner tubes as heat generated by braking may damage them.
3. Air pressure: Do not inflate further than pressure limit indicated on the rim surface (see limits
labeled on it). Do not inflate further than recommended pressure limit indicated on the tire (see
recommendation values on the tire).
4. Mount the Shimano® or SRAM® cassette according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
CAUTION: Use tire levers carefully if they are needed. Tools with a sharp edge and improper
material of it may damage the rim. To prevent rim damage we recommend only using Giant tire
levers which are delivered with the Giant WheelSystem.
