Troubleshooting
Inner tube will not inflate
Ensure the Presta valve's locknut is unscrewed. Check if the valve core is clear of debris. Ensure the tire is properly seated and not pinching the tube.
Tire goes flat quickly after inflation
Check for punctures in the tire and rim tape. Ensure the valve stem is not damaged and the valve core is tight. Re-inspect the inner tube for any small leaks.
Tube is difficult to fit into the tire
Slightly inflate the tube first to give it shape. Ensure the tire is fully seated on the rim. Avoid forcing the tube; consider using tire levers carefully if necessary.
