If you have a puncture whilst riding, do not pull the whole in-

ner tube out of the tyre. Leave the valve sticking through the

rim, 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 bubbles. When you have found the hole, look for the cor-

responding place on the tyre and check it. Often, you will find

a foreign body sticking in the tyre, which ought to be removed.

Otherwise another puncture can occur.

When you have removed the tyre, you should also check the rim tape (a). It

should lie squarely in the trough of the rim, covering all spoke nipples, and

should not be torn anywhere or 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 textile or durable plastic. If you are in doubt or if

you have any questions, please contact your bicycle dealer!

Replace spoilt rim tapes immediately.

If the fabric of the tyre is destroyed by the perforating object,

replace the tyre to be on the safe side.

Dismounting a Rohloff rear wheel requires special handling.

Please follow the enclosed Rohloff instructions!

7.5.3 Tyre Mounting (Clincher, Folding Tyres)

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 (b). Using your thumbs, press the

bead over the edge of the rim and then around the entire circumference.

This should normally be possible without using tools.

Stick the valve of the inner tube through the hole in the rim (c). 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 (d). Make sure the inner tube does not get pinched and

squashed between tyre and rim. You can prevent this by pushing the inner

tube into the hollow of the tyre with a finger as you work along.

Work the tyre into the rim, approaching the valve symmetrically from both

sides. Towards the end, you will have to pull the tyre vigorously downwards

to make the already mounted portion of the tyre slip towards the deepest part

of the rim trough. 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 (a).

If this does not work, you will have to use the tyre levers (b). Make sure the

blunt ends point towards the inner tube and the inner tube does not get

damaged.

Push the valve a little into the tyre so that the inner tube does not get caught

between the rim and the tyre beads. Check whether the valve stands up-

right. If not, dismount one bead again and reposition the inner tube. To

make sure the inner tube does not get pinched between rim and bead,

inflate the tyre a little and then move it sideways back and forth between

the sides of the rim. While doing this you can check whether the rim tape

has shifted.

Inflate the inner tube to the desired pressure. The maximum pressure is

indicated on the side of the tyre.

Check the seating of the tyre by means of the “witness line” running around

the side of the tyre just above the edge of the rim (c). The distance between

the line and the edge of the rim should be even around the entire circumfer-

ence of the tyre.

7.5.4 Removal of Tubeless Tyres (d)

Deflate the tyre completely. Press the tyre from the sides towards the centre

of the rim, until both beads lie slack in the centre of the rim. Start remov-

ing the tyre at the point opposite the valve and lift one tyre bead with your

fingers over the edge of the rim. Do not use tyre levers! Slip the entire tyre

bead over the rim. Then pull the other bead off the rim, as well.

7.5.5 Repair of Tubeless Tyres

In the event of a puncture tubeless tyres also work with an inserted inner

tube. First remove the perforating object, as far as available, from the tyre

and remove the valve from the rim. Insert a slightly inflated new inner tube

into the tyre. Mount the tyre as described below and make sure it is properly

seated in the rim and inflated to the specified pressure.

Tubeless tyres can be sealed on the inside with a conventional repair patch,

as well. Observe the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer.

Improper mounting can lead to malfunctioning or even result in

tyre failure. Therefore, be sure to follow the instructions of the

manufacturer enclosed with the delivery.
