COMPLETE WHEEL
Carbo Graff wheels are designed to fit Tubeless Ready tyres only.
Be very careful to avoid situations which you may incur in direct
and violent impacts with potholes or unevenness of the road sur-
face as this might cause the rim cracking and the consequent loss
of warranty.
In the event of abnormal impacts due to uneven road surfaces or
during wheels transport, we recommend to have the wheels imme-
diately checked by a specialised mechanic or qualified personnel.
Carbo Graff wheels are uniquely sold with the Tubeless Ready
conversion kit certified by our Quality Department; please read
carefully the instructions in sections I, II and III.
I
FITTING THE TUBELESS TYRE
� Warning
If you have any doubt about your ability to carry out the fol-
lowing operations, please consult qualified personnel.
Always wear protective gloves and goggles before any mainte-
nance work on your wheels.
Check that the tyre bears the Tubeless Ready logo.
If required to use a lever to insert the tyre beads, use a plastic
lever so to not damage the rim and tape.
To install the Tubeless ready tyre, please follow the following sim-
ple steps:
• Moisten the base of the rim with soap and water
• Starting from the valve area, insert the firstof the two tyre beads
into place, and continue along the entire circumference of the
wheel
• Fit the other bead of the tire and continue around the whole cir-
cumference of the rim: check the correct positioning of the tire
on both sides of the valve zone
Ensure the correct positioning of the tire moving slightly back and
forth the tire.
If the tyre is too easy to fit, the tyre may be too big. Caution, a tyre
that is too big could deflate suddenly and cause an accident,
serious injury or death.

INFLATING THE TUBELESS READY TYRE
� 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 perfor-
ming repair and maintenance on your wheels.
Before inflating the Tubeless Ready tyre, insert the anti-puncture
liquid (Caution, do not use products containing ammonia) fol-
lowing these simple steps:
• Remove the valve cap
• Using your index finger, gently press the top of the valve so as to
ensure there is no air inside the tyre
• 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
throughout the inside of the tire
• Put the top part of the valve back into place
• Make sure the two tire beads are positioned correctly by ve-
rifying that the distance between the center line of the tyre and
the edge of the rim is constant through the entire wheel
• Inflate the tyre. Warning, follow the steps in section 2 of the Ge-
neral Indications
• Put the valve cap back
• Have a ride of 3-4 kms to ensure the liquid inside the tyre will
evenly distribute
In the event of a tyre puncture, the loss of air is slow and not im-
mediate, and in some cases offers you the possibility of continu-
ing your ride home. Keep in mind that a Tubeless ready tyre can be
repaired by applying a tyre patch, by using an anti-puncture spray,
or by installing 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
diameter.
•
Completely deflate the tyre
•
Starting from the opposite side of the valve, unhook the tyre bead
from its seat and continue along the circumference of the wheel. If
required to use a lever to unhook the tyre beads, use a plastic lever
so to not damage the rim and tape
•
Unscrew the valve nut and remove the valve
•
Drain the puncture prevention liquid from inside the tyre and rim
•
Insert the inner tube partially inlfated into the tyre
•
Starting from the point opposite the valve, insert the second tire
bead into place and continue along the entire circumference of the
wheel, taking care to not pinch the inner tube
•
Inflate the inner tube until both tire beads are fitted properly in the
correct position
