Mounting (Fig. 59)
•
Place the protective rim band over the valve. Then push the valve through the rim. Screw on the valve
nut, if there is one. The rim band can then be easily applied.
•
Ensure that all spoke ends are covered.
Tires (Fig. 60)
•
Beginning behind the valve, place the lower side of the tire over the edge of the wheel rim.
•
Pump the tube with a small amount of air until it assumes its round shape. Then insert it into the tire.
•
Check the inner tube for folds. If folds are present, release some air. Now you can easily install the
upper side of the tire starting across from the valve, using both hands and working towards the valve.
Inflating
•
Check around the tire on both sides to ensure that the tube is not clamped between the edge of the
tire and the rim.
•
Push the valve back slightly and then pull it out again such that the tire is well-seated in the valve area.
•
Inflate the tire until it can still be pressed easily with your thumb. If the control line on both sides of the
tire is equally distanced to the rim, the tire sits centrally. If the tire does not sit centrally, let out some air
and realign the tire. Then inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the side wall and tighten the dust
cap.
