Tubeless ready tire. If the tire mounted too easily, the tire is most
likely too large.
Warning

oversized tyres may deflate unexpectedly and cause accidents, as
well as serious or fatal injuries.
If necessary, use a lever to help insert the tire beads, use a plastic
lever so as to avoid damaging the rim. Warning: avoid using sharp
objects so as to prevent damage to the tire.
To install the Tubeless ready tire, please follow these simple steps:
• Moisten the base of the rim with soap and water.
• Starting from the valve, insert the first of the two tire beads into
place, and continue along the entire circumference of the wheel.
• Fit the other bead of the tire and continue around the whole
circumference of the rim: check the correct positioning of the tire
on both sides of the valve zone. Ensure the correct positioning of

Before inflating the Tubeless ready tire, we recommend that you use
the anti-puncture liquid by following these simple steps (Attention,
please do not use any liquid, which might contain ammonia):
• Remove the valve cap.
• Using your index finger, gently press the top of the valve so as to
ensure there is no air inside the tire.
• Remove the top part of the valve using the appropriate tools.
• Insert the anti-puncture liquid using the appropriate dispenser.
Spin the wheel around several times to distribute the liquid throu-
ghout the inside of the tire.
• Put the top part of the valve back into place.
• Inflate until you achieve the desired inflation pressure. Make sure
the two tire beads are positioned correctly by verifying that the
distance between the tire centring line and the margin of the tire is
constant around the entire circumference of the wheel.
• Inflate the tyre. AttentIon, follow the steps in section 2 of the
general Indications.
• Put back the valve cap.
• Ride the bicycle for 3-4 kms so as to ensure the liquid inside the
tire is evenly distributed.
When you puncture the tire, the air leakage is slow and not imme-
diate, and in some cases allows you to keep on pedaling back home.
Keep in mind that a Tubeless ready tire can be repaired by applying a
puncture repair patch or spray, or by inserting an inner tube.

The inner tube must be fitted with a Presta valve that has a 6 mm
diameter:
• Deflate the tire.
• Starting from the opposite side of the valve, uncouple the bead
from its seat and continue along the entire circumference of the
wheel. If you must use a lever to uncouple the tire beads, use a pla-
stic lever so as to avoid damaging the rim and tire. WArnIng: avoid
using sharp objects so as to prevent damage to the rim and tire.
• Unscrew the valve ring and remove it.
• Drain the puncture prevention liquid from the tire inside.
• Insert the partially inflated inner tube into the tire.
• Starting from the point opposite the valve hole, insert the second
tire bead into place and continue along the entire circumference of
the wheel, be careful not to pinch the inner tube.
• Inflate the inner tube until both tire beads are fitted properly in the
correct position.
• Inflate until you achieve the desired inflation pressure.
