9. Check the position of the inner tube and press the tyre over the edge of the rim
(see “Illustr.: Fitting clincher or folding tyres (A)”).

the edge of the rim (see “Illustr.: Fitting clincher or folding tyres (B)”).
10. Press the valve into the inside of the tyre.
11. Realign the valve if necessary.
x If this is not possible, detach part of the tyre sidewall and realign the inner tube.
12. Move the semi-inflated tyre back and forth several times in a sideways direction to
check that the inner tube is positioned in the tyre correctly with no pinching.
13. Inflate the inner tube to the desired tyre pressure. The maximum tyre pressure is
indicated on the sidewall of the tyre.
14. Check whether the tyre is correctly positioned using the witness line alongside the
rim sidewall. The witness line must be an even distance from the edge of the rim all
round the tyre (see “Illustr.: Fitting clincher or folding tyres (C)”).
