Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Ensure your tire size falls within the 700C range specified: 700x44c, 700x45c, 700x46c, 700x47c, 700x48c, 700x49c, 700x50c (ETRTO 44-622 through 50-622). The Schrader (AV) valve is 48mm long.
Installation:
- Remove the wheel from your bicycle.
- Deflate the old tube completely and remove the tire from the rim.
- Inspect the inside of the tire for any sharp objects that may have caused the previous puncture.
- Slightly inflate the new inner tube to give it shape.
- Place the tube inside the tire, ensuring the valve stem goes through the valve hole in the rim.
- Crucially, check the valve position to ensure correct installation direction.
- Mount the tire back onto the rim, starting opposite the valve.
- Inflate the tube to the recommended pressure for your tire.
Care:
- Avoid puncturing the inner tube with sharp objects during installation or use.
- Periodically check tire pressure to ensure optimal performance and to prevent underinflation, which can increase the risk of pinch flats.
- Before installation, it is recommended to inspect the inner tube for damage by submerging it in water and checking for bubbles. If bubbles appear, the tube is damaged and should not be used.
