Troubleshooting
Tube won't hold air after installation
Check for a pinched tube between the tire bead and rim. Ensure the valve stem is straight and not damaged. Inspect the tire for any remaining sharp objects.
Difficulty fitting tube into tire
Slightly inflate the tube before installation to give it shape. This makes it easier to position within the tire cavity.
Valve stem leaks
Ensure the valve core is tightened. If the leak persists, the tube may be faulty and require replacement.
