Replacing the rim band (only when necessary)

2) Install the new rim band on the inside of the rim, making sure the valve opening is in the right position�
3) Glue the rim band in place if this is intended� Ensure that all spoke ends are covered�
Installing the tube and tyre

2) Slightly inflate the tube until it starts to assume its round shape�
3) Unscrew the valve nut from the tube and push the valve through the valve opening in the rim�
4) Insert the tube into the tyre�
5) Mount the other side of the tyre on the rim, starting from the position across the valve� Ensure that the tube is not
pinched between the tyre and rim during this process�

Inflating the tube
1) Ensure that the valve is positioned perpendicularly for proper positioning of the tube and tyre in the region of the
valve�
2) Firmly screw on the valve nut�
3) Inflate the tube so that the tyre can still be pressed in easily with your thumb�
INFORMATION: If the circumferential lines on the two sides of the tyre are both at an even distance from
the rim, the tyre is centred. If not, let some air out and realign the tyre.
4) Inflate the tube to the maximum pressure specified by the tyre manufacturer (see information printed on the tyre
sidewall)�
