are no protruding spokes, rust or other potential causes. Replace the
rim tape, which covers the spoke ends, if damaged.
8. Remount one side of the tire onto the rim.
9. Using a hand pump, inflate the tube just enough to give in some shape.
10. Place the valve stem through the hole in the rim and work the tube into
the tire. Note: Do not let it twist.
11. Using your hand only, remount the other side of the tire by pushing the
edge toward the center of the rim. Start on either side of the valve and
work around the rim.
12. Before the tire is completely mounted, push the valve up into the rim to
make sure the tire can sit squarely in position.
13. Fit the rest of the tire, rolling the last, most difficult part on using your
thumbs. Note: Avoid using tire levers as these can easily puncture the
tube or damage the tire.
14. Check that the tube is not caught between the rim and the tire bead at
any point.
15. Using a hand pump, inflate the tube until the tire begins to take shape,
and check that the tire bead is evenly seated all the way around the rim.
When properly seated, fully inflate the tire to the pressure marked on the
sidewall. Use a tire air pressure gauge to check.
16. Replace the wheel into the frame checking that all gears, brakes and
quick release levers are properly adjusted.
Remove tire bead from the rim.
Pull tire back onto the rim.
