FITTING THE TUBELESS TYRE
I
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.
The Wheels are predisposed to fit Tubeless tires. If the tire mounted
too easily, the tire is most likely too large.
Warning: oversized tyres may deflate unexpectedly and cause acci-
dents, as well as serious or fatal injuries.
If necessary, use a lever to help insert the tire beads, use a plastic
lever so as to avoid damaging the rim. Warning: avoid using sharp
objects so as to prevent damage to the tire.
To install the Tubeless tire, please follow these simple steps:
• Moisten the base of the rim with soap and water.
• Starting from the valve, insert the firstof the two tyre beads into
place, and continue along the entire circumference of the wheel.
• Insert the second tyre bead into place, and continue along the entire
circumference of the wheel: check that the tyre is positioned cor-
rectly on both sides of the valve area.
To check that the tyre is positioned correctly, slowly wiggle the tyre
back and forth.
INFLATING THE TUBELESS TYRE
II
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 tire, we recommend that you use the
anti-puncture liquid by following these simple steps:
• Remove the valve cap.
• Using your index finge, 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 throu-ghout
the inside of the tire.
• Put the top part of the valve back into place.
• Inflateuntil you achieve the desired inflationpressure. Never exceed
the maximum pressure recommended by the tire manu-facturer.
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.
• 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 im-mediate,
and in some cases allows you to keep on pedaling back home. Keep in
mind that a Tubeless tire can be repaired by applying a puncture repair
patch or spray, or by inserting an inner tube.

INSERTING AN INNER TUBE IN A
TUBELESS TIRE IN THE EVENT OF A
PUNCTURE
The inner tube must be fittedwith a Presta valve that has a 6 mm dia-
meter.
• Deflate the tie.
• 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 da-mage to
the rim and tire.
• Unscrew the valve ring and remove it.
• Insert the partially inflated inner tube into the tie.
• Starting from the point opposite the wvalve 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.
• Inflatethe inner tube until both tire beads are fittedproperly in the
correct position.
• Inflateuntil you achieve the desired inflationpressure. Do not exceed
the maximum pressure recommended by the tire manu-facturer.
IV
NIPPLE REPLACEMENT
If you need to replace a nipple, please proceed as follows:
Starting from the point opposite the valve, disassemble the Tube-
less tire. If you must use a lever to uncouple the tire beads, use a pla-
stic lever so as to avoid damaging the rim and tire. Warning: avoid
using sharp objects so as to prevent da-mage to the rim and tire.
We recommend placing the wheel in a position that prevents the nip-
ples from falling into the rim.
• Cut the tape using a sharp object.
• Remove the nipples from the rim, taking care not to drop the washer
into the rim.
• Once the nipples have been removed, insert the new nipples and
washers, and close the hole using the tape so as to seal it. Befo-
re replacing the spoke, dip the new spoke into thread-locking fluid
for better grip. To install the Tubeless tire, please follow the simple
steps indicated in Section 1.
