2.4 - WHEN YOU USE TUBES
Notes
Check that the tube valve is compatible with the rim. If it is not, contact the
nearest dealer to receive more precise information on compatible tubes.
- THE USE OF RIM TAPE IS NOT REQUIRED.
• Deflate the tyre.
• Unscrew the valve ring (A - Fig. 16) by hand and remove the valve.
• Introduce a partially inflated presta inner tube into the tyre (Fig. 17).
• Fit the other bead of the tyre into the rim groove (Fig. 18) starting from
the point opposite the valve, and continue around the whole circumfe-
rence 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. 19).
• 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
WARNING!
Also when using an inner tube, proper coupling is absolutely neces-
sary to maintain the tire or the rim and avoid personal injury or death.
