3 - TIRES
2-Way Fit rims are designed for both tubeless and standard clinchers.
3.1 - INSTALLING CLINCHER TIRES
WARNING!
RIM-TIRE COMPATIBILITY
All Fulcrum
rims are made with very precise dimensionally. If a tire is too easy to
®
install on a Fulcrum
rim, that tire is most likely too big and will not seat properly
®
on the rim. If a tire is too difficult to install, that tire is most likely too small. Use
only high quality tires that require the use of tire levers and a reasonable instal-
lation effort. Using talcum powder on the tire will make installation easier. Using
a tire that does not fit properly on the rim can cause sudden and unexpected tire
failure, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
• Before mounting the clincher tyres, ensure that the diameter indicated on the clincher
tyre is 622 mm and that the width of the clincher tyre is compatible with the width of
the rim based on the ETRTO rim/clincher tyre compatibility table ("European Tyre and
rim technical organisation standard manual - 2007"- Pag. 18).
3.2 - CYCLOCROSS TYRES
• These wheels are also designed to be fitted with cyclocross tyres.
• Please comply with the maximum pressures stamped on CX tyres.
WARNING!
Failure to properly install the tire can cause sudden and unexpected loss of tire pres-
sure, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.

3.3 - INSTALLING CLINCHER TIRES
WARNING!
Failure to properly install the tire can cause sudden and unexpected loss of tire pressu-
re, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
Be sure that you do not damage or otherwise bend any portion of the rim when installing the
tire. Be careful not to damage or bend any part of the rim when mounting the tyre. Damaging the
edge of the rim can compromise its operation, especially when using tubeless tyres. Check that
the inside of the tyre and rim are perfectly clean; clean them with a cloth if necessary.
