TIRE & TUBE

TIP: When Removing tires or tubes   always use tire tools   to remove the tire from the rim. Using a screwdriver or other tool will damage the tire and your tube. ( A set of three tire tools costs less than a new tube)

When installing a new tire or tube try to use only your hands to put the tire back on the rim. Even tire tools may puncture the new tube when you use them.

To install a tire

First mount one side of the tire on the rim.

Second put a small amount of air into the tube just enough to fill it round.

Third, slip the tube into the tire and the valve through the rim hole. Starting at the valve hole work both directions around the rim so that the valve stays straight.

Now let some of the air out of the tube and working from the valve pull the second side of the tire onto the rim. Again work both sides away from the valve so that the valve stays straight.

When the tire is almost on and becoming hard to install let out all the air from the tube.

When the tire is completely mounted air to about 10 lbs and check that the tire is seated firmly and straight on the rim so that there are no high or low spots. Now slowly air tire to the recommended psi. As noted on the side of the tire.
