Before tting the tyre completely on the rim check again whether the
inner tube lies properly inside the tyre and press the last stretch of tyre
over the edge of the rim using the balls of your thumbs (a).
If this does not work, you will have to use the tyre levers (b). Make sure
the blunt ends point towards the inner tube and the inner tube does not
get damaged.
Push the valve a little into the tyre so that the inner tube does not get
caught between the rim and the tyre beads. Check whether the valve
stands upright. If not, dismount one bead again and reposition the in-
ner tube. To make sure the inner tube does not get pinched between
rim and bead, inate the tyre a little and then move it sideways back
and forth between the sides of the rim. While doing this you can check
whether the rim tape has shifted.
Inate the inner tube to the desired pressure. The maximum pressure is
indicated on the side of the tyre.
Check the seating of the tyre by means of the “witness line” running
around the side of the tyre just above the edge of the rim (c). The dis-
tance between the line and the edge of the rim should be even around
the entire circumference of the tyre.
7.5.4 Removal of Tubeless Tyres (d).
Deate the tyre completely. Press the tyre from the sides towards the
centre of the rim, until both beads lie slack in the centre of the rim. Start
removing the tyre at the point opposite the valve and lift one tyre bead
with your ngers over the edge of the rim. Do not use tyre levers! Slip
the entire tyre bead over the rim. Then pull the other bead off the rim, as
well.
7.5.5 Repair of Tubeless Tyres.
In the event of a puncture tubeless tyres also work with an inserted inner
tube. First remove the perforating object, as far as available, from the
tyre and remove the valve from the rim. Insert a slightly inated new in-
ner tube into the tyre. Mount the tyre as described below and make sure
it is properly seated in the rim and inated to the specied pressure.
Tubeless tyres can be sealed on the inside with a conventional repair
patch, as well. Observe the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer.
Improper mounting can lead to malfunctioning or even result in
brake failure. Therefore, be sure to follow the instructions of the
manufacturer included with the delivery.
