Setup, Compatibility & Care
When installing the Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Season tyre, ensure your rim bed is clean and clear of any remnants of old rim tape. Due to the reinforced Kevlar construction, the beads may feel slightly tighter than standard tyres; using a plastic tyre lever can assist with seating the bead into the deepest part of the rim channel.
For optimal care, maintain the recommended tyre pressure based on your body weight and road conditions to prevent premature wear. Regularly inspect the tread for embedded glass or sharp gravel, as these can be picked out before they work their way through the puncture protection layer. It is recommended to store your bike in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to prevent rubber degradation.
