Troubleshooting
Tyre will not seat on the rim during tubeless setup
Ensure the bead is pushed deep into the center channel of the rim and use a high-flow inflator or compressor to force the bead outward.
Sealant leaking from the sidewall
Ensure the tyre is properly seated and allow the sealant to coat the inside by shaking the wheel; check for excessive sidewall damage if leaking persists.
Tyre feels sluggish on hard surfaces
Check your tyre pressure; increasing PSI slightly toward the 50 psi limit can reduce rolling resistance on firmer ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this tyre, ensure your 27.5-inch rim is compatible with tubeless tape and valves. While the Hans Dampf is tubeless-ready, it can also be used with traditional inner tubes.
- Clean the rim surface thoroughly before applying tubeless tape.
- Seat the folding bead into the center channel of the rim.
- Add the recommended amount of sealant for your tyre volume.
- Use a high-volume pump or air compressor to seat the beads firmly against the rim walls.
Maintain your tyre pressure between 23 and 50 psi based on your weight and trail conditions. Regularly inspect the tread for embedded debris and check the sidewalls for signs of wear to ensure the longevity of the TwinSkin construction. Never exceed the maximum load weight of 115 kg.
