Fitting standard tyre with inner tube

Fitting standard tyre with inner tube

Carefully check the condition of the rim.

A rim in poor condition – broken or cracked – must be changed as it may damage the tyre and tube and may be a danger to the user.

Check the condition of the rim band.
A broken or cracked rim band around the rim should be changed. A rim band in poor condition is often the cause of punctures. To fit, superimpose the valve and rim holes and keep them in line. 

Insert the 1st bead of the tyre into the rim.

Inflate the inner tube slightly to make it round and insert it into the tyre, starting with the valve. For latex inner tubes, do not forget to apply talc to facilitate positioning in the tyre.

Do the same for the second bead, always starting opposite to the valve and positioning the bead right into the rim well. Finish fitting at the level of the valve.

 

 

 

Removal

To remove, unclip the beads around the rim and push them down into the rim well.

Using tyre levers, taking great care, position one on either side of the valve (around 10 cm) and lift simultaneously to lever the tyre onto the rim flange. Move one of the levers all around the rim between the flange and tyre bead to remove the first bead completely. Remove the second one by hand
