2. Remove any foreign bodies (thorns, small stones, pieces of glass or similar items) by hand or carefully
with a small screwdriver. Check if air is then leaking out.
• If air is leaking out the inner tube has to be renewed. You may change the inner tube of the wheel
yourself. For instructions on how to do so, see section 15.5.1, Changing the inner tube and tyre.

7.1.2.5 Checking that the tyre is correctly fitted

1. Lift the front wheel.
2. Turn the front wheel by hand. The tyre must run smoothly. There must be no wobble or eccentricity.
3. Check the back wheel in the same way as the front wheel.

7.1.2.6 Checking valve position (not on tubeless tyres):

1. If necessary, remove the valve nut.
2. Check the valve position: The valves must be pointing towards the middle of the wheel.

7.1.2.7 Checking the air pressure

As a result of low tyre pressure
• the tyre and inner tube may move on the rim and result in the incorrect positioning of the valves. The valve
base may tear off during the journey and result in a sudden loss of pressure in the tyre.
• the tyre may come off the rim in curves.
• the likelihood of a breakdown is increased.
