SECTION 2: Inflating the Tubeless ready tire
Warning:
If you have any doubts about your ability to perform any
of the following procedures, seek advice from qualified
personnel.
For your safety, always wear gloves and goggles when
performing repair and maintenance on your wheels.
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
throughout 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
immediate, 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.
SECTION 3: Inserting an inner tube
in a Tubeless ready tire
in the event of a puncture
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
plastic 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.
