INFLATING THE TIRE TUBEHUB BEARINGS
Hub bearings require special thin wrenches called cone
wrenches. If you do not own these tools, do not aempt hub
bearing adjustments. Have a qualied bicycle mechanic perform
the adjustment if you have any doubts.
Check to make sure neither locknut is loose.
To adjust, remove wheel from bicycle and loosen the locknut
on one side of the hub while holding the bearing cone on
the same side with a cone wrench.
Rotate the adjusng cone as needed to eliminate free play.
Re-ghten the locknut while holding the adjusng cone in
posion.
Re-check that the wheel can turn freely without excessive
side play.
Follow these steps to inate a re:
Remove the valve cap and add air.
Be sure the re is evenly seated on the rim, both sides.
Spin the wheel and check for high and low areas.
Complete inaon to the recommended psi found on the
sidewall of the re.
Be sure the re is evenly seated on the rim, both sides.
If not, release some air and repeat steps three through six.
Check for dirt in the valve cap or stem. Clean dirt from cap
or stem.
Securely replace the valve cap on the stem.
An unseated re can rupture unexpectedly and cause
serious injury or death. Be sure the re is properly seated
when inang the tube.
Over inaon or inang the tube too quickly may result
in the re blowing o the rim and damaging the bicycle or
causing injury to the rider. Always use a hand pump to
inate the tube. Do not use a gas staon service pump to
inate the tube.
