Benzine and tire glue should only be
used in a well aired place, since both
materials are highly flammable. Keep
them in a safe place out of children’s reach.
A
Tire glues do not only stick on rims and
tires, they also cling quite stubbornly to
fingers and clothes. This makes it advis-
able to wear old clothes when mounting tubulars.
i
When mounting a tire on a rim that has
already been used, it may be necessary
to carefully remove glue residues and
dirt with emery cloth. Be careful not to damage
the carbon material. When you are done, wipe
the rim with a soft rag and benzine.
i
Before removing a wheel, read the chap-
ters “The wheels and the tires” and “How
to use quick-releases and thru axles”.
i
If your bike has carbon rims, you have to
use special tubular tire glue
(a)
(e.g. from
Continental). Be sure to read the oper-
ating instructions of the manufacturer of tubular
tire glue for carbon rims on this CENTURION CD-
ROM before applying it.

Mounting wheels
To mount a wheel follow the reverse procedure of
wheel dismounting. If necessary, insert the brake
discs between the brake pads. Make sure the wheel
is correctly seated in the drop-outs and accurate-
ly centered between the fork legs or the rear and
chainstays. Make sure that the quick-release and the
drop-out catches are correctly seated. For more in-
formation see the chapter “How to use quick-releas-
es and thru axles”.
Close the quick-release lever at the brake immediate-
ly (Shimano, SRAM)
(b)
.
If you have
V-brakes
(c)
hook up the brake cable at
the brake arm. To do this, grip the rim with one hand
and press the brake pads and/or the brake arms
together. In this position the housing can easily be
hooked up
(d)
.
If you have
disc brakes
, check before mounting the
wheel whether the brake pads rest snugly in their
seats in the brake caliper body. The gaps between
the brake pads and the wheel should be parallel and
the wear indicators in their correct position. Make
sure that you push the brake disk between the brake
pads. After mounting the wheel and tightening the
quick-release, pull the brake lever (several times, if
you have disc brakes).
