Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Schwalbe Albert tyres, follow these guidelines:
- Tubeless Installation: Ensure your rims are properly taped and use high-quality tubeless sealant. Because the tyre is tubeless-ready, it will seat securely, but ensure you seat the beads evenly around the rim before inflating to full pressure.
- Pressure Management: Due to the radial construction, this tyre performs best at slightly lower pressures than traditional bias-ply tyres. Start by checking your recommended PSI range and experiment with dropping 1-2 PSI lower to take advantage of the added ground contact.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the tyre for debris, particularly after riding in rocky areas. While the APEX layer provides protection, embedded sharp objects should be removed immediately to prevent them from migrating deeper into the carcass.
- Storage: Keep your tyres away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use to preserve the integrity of the ADDIX rubber compound.
