3. TIRES
• The wheel you have purchased is designed to use tubular tires.
• Check to insure that the diameter and cross-section of the tubular
tire you plan to use are compatible with the dimension of the rim.
• The installation of the tubular tire on the rim is an operation which
requires special attention; refer to the instructions enclosed with
the tubular tire.
Use acetone to degrease the bonding surface of the rim before
applying the glue for tubular installation. We recommend applying
at least 3 coats of glue to the rim and 1 coat to the tire and to leave
the tubular tire to "set" for at least 24 hours before using the wheel.
WARNING!
Failure to properly install the tire can cause sudden and unex-
pected loss of tire pressure, resulting in an accident, personal
injury or death.
WARNING!
Do not sand-paper the rim before installing the tubular tire. Do
not perform any operations which may cause abrasions, scrat-
ches or cuts to the rim or which may damage it in any other
way. This damage could cause the rim to unexpectedly fail,
resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
