What is the correct way to fit a tire? |
|
|
|
| |
|
- An appropriate rim tape must completely and securely cover all spoke holes (fig. 1).
- Observe any rotation direction markings on the tire sidewall.
- Fit one side of the tire onto the rim.
- Slightly inflate the tube until it is round.
- Fit the valve through the valve hole in the rim.
- Place the tube into the tire (fig. 2).
- Never use sharp fitting tools (fig. 3).
- Starting opposite the valve mount the other tire side onto the rim.
- Ensure the tube is not pinched between the rim and the tire (fig. 4).
- The valve should be in an upright position (fig. 5).
- Center the tire before inflating it to the required pressure.
- Adjust the inflation pressure using a pressure gauge, e.g. the Schwalbe Airmax Pro pressure gauge. The permitted inflation pressure range is marked on the tire sidewall.
- Check the tire pressure at least once per month with an air gauge (fig. 6).
