Troubleshooting

Tyre won't seat properly on the rim.

Ensure the tyre bead is evenly positioned around the rim. Use soapy water to lubricate the bead and rim if necessary. Check the tyre pressure and adjust accordingly.

Frequent punctures.

Check the inside of the tyre for sharp objects that may have penetrated the tyre. Use tyre sealant to prevent further damage.

Tyre feels unstable on gravel.

Check the tyre pressure; slightly lower the PSI to increase the contact area and grip on gravel surfaces.
