Special Assembly
TubeLess Ready (TLR) Tires
To install a TLR rim strip and TLR valve
The following steps will prepare a Bontrager TLR rim for the installation of a TLR or
Tubeless tire.
1. Check the TLR rim strip for tears, holes or deformed areas near the valve hole or
along its edges. Only use a Bontrager TLR rim strip that has not been damaged.
2. Align the valve holes of the rim and rim strip. The U shape of the rim strip should
face toward the center of the rim and offset rim strips should match the offset in
the rim (Figure 89).
3. Place the rubber o-ring onto the TLR valve, and then pass the valve through the
valve hole in the rim strip and then through the rim.
4. Align the valve stem base with the walls of the rim (Figure 90).
5. Tighten the valve nut until finger tight. Do not tighten with a tool.
6. Using only your thumbs, work the rim strip into the rim, moving away from the
valve stem in both directions. Do not use tools because they can damage the
rim strip.
To install a TLR tire on a TLR mountain wheel
The following steps are necessary for correct installation of a TLR tire on a Bontrager
TLR wheel. Before you proceed, install a TLR rim strip and valve.
1. Starting opposite the valve stem, push the first bead of the tire into the rim well.
2. Starting opposite the valve stem, push the second bead into the rim until
approximately three inches (75mm) of the bead remains outside the rim well,
leaving an open section of tire.
3. Pour the sealant into the open section of tire (Figure 91). See the sealant container
for the recommended amount.
4. While being careful not to spill sealant, finish pushing the second bead into the
rim.
5. While holding the wheel vertical, spin the wheel to spread the sealant around the
inside of the tire (Figure 92).
6. Inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the side of the tire.
7. Check for correct tire bead engagement in the rim. Most tires have a mold line
near the bead of the tire where it engages the rim. All the way around the rim, the
distance between the mold line and the top edge of the rim must be even and
equal. If the distance is not equal, deflate the tire and repeat steps 6 and 7.
8. Bounce the wheel on the ground while spinning it. This spreads the sealant over
the entire inner surface of tire.
9. Re-check the tire inflation and if need, correct it.
10. Re-check for correct tire bead engagement.
