Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Schwalbe CX Comp, ensure your rim is clean and free of debris before seating the wired bead. Because it is a wired tyre, you may need a tyre lever to fully seat the final section of the bead onto the rim; ensure you do not pinch the inner tube during this process. For care, keep the tyre at the recommended pressure listed on the sidewall to avoid pinch flats and premature sidewall wear. Regularly inspect the tread for embedded debris such as glass or flint, which can eventually pierce the K-Guard layer if left unattended.
