Fitting a tubeless tyre

Carefully check the condition of the rim. A rim in poor condition – broken or cracked – must be changed as it may cause leaks and be a danger to the user.

The rim must be lubricated (no oil or grease) all around the circumference to help the tyre slide when being fitted and, in particular, to ensure the tyre clips in and is correctly centered when pressure is increased.

Start by inserting the first bead opposite to the valve, taking great care to position the bead right into the rim well.

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

Inflate the tyre to a minimum pressure of 4 bars to clip the beads into the rim. Adjust the pressure after a few miles.
