Fitting

 

How are tubeless tires fitted?

 

  • Wet the rim well with a recommended lubricant or soapy water (1).

  • Fit one of the tire beads onto the rim (2).

  • Fit the other tire bead onto the rim. It is important to start on the side that is opposite to the valve. (3) (4).

  • Verify the tire is correctly seated all around the rim (5) (6). Check that the valve is between the tire beads.

  • Inflate the tire quickly until both beads jump up into place, confirmed by an audible pop(7) (8).

  • Using the rim line, make sure that the tire is properly in place. The rim line must be parallel to the rim flange all the way around.

  • Adjust the inflation pressure to your requirements taking into consideration the pressure markings on the tire and the manufacturers recommendations.
