it
oct without stretch,
dust
it
with french chalk and insert
it

it
is
a wise precaution to lubricate the beads and levers
with soapy water.
First Bead.
Squeeze the beads together at the valve position to prevent the tube
from slipping back inside the cover and push the cover towards the rim, threading
the valve through the valve holes in the rim band and rim. Allow the first bead to
enter the well of the rim and the other bead to lie above the level of the rim
fbange.
Working from the valve, press the
first
bead over the rim flange by hand, mbving
forward in small steps and making sure that the part of the bead already dealt with
lies in the well of the rim. If necessary, use a tyre lever for the last few inches.
Second Bead. Press the second bead into the well of the rim diametrically opposite
the valve.
Insert a lever as close as possible to the point where the bead passes over
the flange and lever the bead into the flange. at the same time pressing the fitted part
of the bead into the well of the rim. Repeat until the bead
is
completely over the
flange, finishing
at
the valve position.
Valve.
Push the valve inwards to make sure that the tube near the valve
is
not
trapped under the bead.
Pull the valve back and inflate the tyre.
Check that the
fitting line on the cover
is
concentric with the top of the rim flange and that the
valve protrudes squarely through the valve hole. Fit the knurled rim nut a,~d valve,
