Tyre mounting
When mounting a tyre make sure no foreign matter, such as dirt or sand, gets
inside the tyre and you do not damage the inner tube in the process.
Slip one bead of the tyre onto the rim. Using your thumbs, press one bead over
the edge of the rim and then around the entire circumference. This should nor-
mally be possible without using tools.
Stick the valve of the inner tube through the hole in the rim (b). Inflate the inner
tube slightly so that it becomes round and push it into the tyre all the way
round. Make sure not to leave any folds in the inner tube.
To finish mounting the tyre, start at the opposite side of the valve. Using your
thumbs, press as much of the second bead of the tyre over the edge of the rim
as you can.
Make sure the inner tube does not get pinched and squashed between the tyre
and the rim. You can prevent this by pushing the inner tube into the hollow of
the tyre (c) with a finger as you work along.
Work the tyre into the rim by approaching the valve symmetrically from both
sides. Towards the end, you will have to pull the tyre vigorously downwards (d)
to make the already mounted portion of the tyre slip towards the deepest part
of the rim well. This will ease the job noticeably on the last centimetres.
Before fitting the tyre completely on the rim check again whether the inner tube
lies properly inside the tyre and press the last stretch of tyre over the edge of
the rim using the balls of your thumbs.
If this does not work, you will have to use the tyre levers (e). Make sure the bent
ends point towards the inner tube and the inner tube does not get damaged.
Push the valve subsequently a little into the tyre (f) so that the inner tube does
not get caught between the rim and the tyre beads. Check whether the valve
stands upright. If not, dismount one bead again and reposition the inner tube.
After levering a part of the tyre bead over the edge of the rim you should
normally be able to slip off the whole tyre on one side by moving the tyre lever
around the whole circumference.
Now you can remove the inner tube. Make sure the valve does not get caught in
the rim, as this can damage the inner tube.
If necessary you can remove the whole tyre by pulling the other tyre bead off
the rim.
Repair the puncture according to the manuals of the repair kit manufacturer or
replace the inner tube by a new one.
When you have removed the tyre, you should also check the rim tape (a). It
should lie squarely in the rim trough, covering all spoke nipples, and should nei-
ther be damaged nor brittle.
In the case of double wall rims the tape must cover the entire rim base, but it
should not be so broad as to stand up along the inside edges of the rim trough.
Rim tapes for this type of rim should only be made of fabric or durable plastic. If
you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
If the fabric of the tyre is destroyed by the perforating object, replace the
tyre to be on the safe side.
DANGER!

Replace spoilt rim tapes immediately.
NOTE!
I
If you get a puncture en route, inflate the inner tube and bring it close to
your ear. In most cases you can hear the air coming out. At home you can
help yourself with a bucket of water where you can locate the hole by the bub-
bles. When you have found the hole, look for the corresponding place on the
tyre and check it, as well. Often, you will find a foreign body sticking in the tyre,
which ought to be removed. Otherwise another puncture can occur.
