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 mov-
ing the tyre lever around the whole circumference.
Now you can pull out the inner tube. Take care the valve does not get
caught, as this can damage the inner tube.
For this type of rim only use rim tapes made of fabric or durable plas-
tic. In case you are in doubt about the rim tape, contact your STEVENS
dealer.
7.4.3. 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.
Slip one bead of the tyre onto the rim. Using your thumbs, press the
bead over the edge of the rim over the entire circumference. You
should be able to do this without any tools, regardless of the type of
tyre. Stick the valve of the tube through the hole in the rim.
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 tube.
To finish mounting the tyre start at the point opposite the valve. Us-
ing your thumbs, press the second bead of the tyre over the edge
of the rim as far as you can. Make sure the inner tube does not get
pinched and squashed between tyre and rim. This is prevented by
pushing the inner tube into the tyre hollow 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 vig-
orously downwards to make the already mounted portion of the tyre
slip towards the deepest part of the rim base. This will ease the job
noticeably on the last centimetres.
Check again the proper seat of the inner tube inside the tyre and
press the last stretch of tyre over the edge of the rim by using the
balls of your thumb. It will help you to bring the wheel to rest on your
hip.
The Wheels
Inspect the inflated tube and look for the puncture. A bucket of water
may help you.
Repair the puncture according to the operating instructions of the
repair kit manufacturer.
After having removed the tyre, you should check the rim tape. The
tape should lie squarely in the base of the rim covering all spoke ends
and should neither be torn 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.
Note:
If you have a puncture
while riding, do not pull out
the inner tube completely.
Leave the valve sticking
in the rim and first look
for the hole where the
air escapes. Pump up the
inner tube. When you have
found the hole, look for the
corresponding place on the
tyre and examine it. Often
you will find the foreign
body sticking in the tyre.
