Straight-sided Tyres
|
Two-piece rims do not have a well but a locking ring that separates from the main part of the rim. This allows the tyre to slip straight on. There is a special jig that can be fitted to a tyre fitting machine in order to fit two-piece rims.
-
french chalk the inside of the tyre
-
roll the tyre around so the chalk is spread evenly over the inside of the tyre
-
insert the tube into the tyre
-
apply the rim flap
-
lubricate the rim thoroughly
-
insert the valve in the valve hole
-
push the tyre, tube and rim flap onto the rim - the outer bead of the tyre must sit inwards of the flange that holds the locking ring
-
fit the locking ring - make sure the split in the locking ring is on the opposite side of the rim to the valve hole
-
inflate the tyre - it is recommended that the tyre is inflated in a cage since if the locking ring is damaged or not fitted correctly then the high pressures can cause the locking ring to detach and result in serious injury
-
deflate and reinflate - this is to stop the tube creasing
MWS recommends that tyres are always fitted by professionals who have the required equipment and experience. |
