• Fit the other bead of the tyre into the rim groove (Fig. 3) starting from the point
opposite the valve, and continue around the whole circumference of the rim, taking
care not to pinch the tube.
• Wet the tyre bead and rim profile with soap and water.

• Inflate the inner tube until the two tyre beads go into place correctly (Fig. 4).
• Deflate the tyre completely and check the correct adherence of the bead around
the whole rim.
If the tyre is not fitted correctly the bead will separate from the tyre if deflated.
• Inflate the tyre again and respect the working pressure.
• Screw back the valve ring.
• Put back the valve cap.

TO DEFLATE THE TIRE: remove the cap, unscrew the valve, press and
hold down the valve to obtain the required pressure, then, tighten the valve,
replace the cap.
DANGER!
Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure recommended by the
tire manufacturer or for the cross section of the clincher tire you are
using. Excessive tire pressure reduces grip on the road and increases
the risk that the tire will unexpectedly burst.
Inflation pressure that is too low reduces tire performance and increa-
ses the probability of sudden and unexpected loss of tire pressure. In
addition, premature wear and damage to the rim may occur.
Incorrect tire pressure could cause sudden and unexpected tire failure
or loss of control of the bicycle, resulting in an accident, personal injury
or death.
WARNING!
Never use a latex inner tube because the high temperature that may be
reached during braking could lead to puncturing the inner tube with the
risk of accidents, physical injury or even death.
