A cross-section view of the rim shows a number
of its constituent parts: a) rim width - b) shoulder
height - c) humps for anchoring tubeless tyres - d)
valve hole - e) ventilation openings - f) off set - g)
open centre diameter - h) distance between fixing
holes - i) keying diameter - j) drop centre.
III - Inner tube (in tube type tyres). The inner tube
is a rubber casing in an endless loop, fitted with a
valve, which contains the pressurised air.
Valve. The valve is a mechanical device which allows
inflation/deflation and retention of the pressurised
air inside an inner tube (or a tyre in the case of
tubeless tyres). It consists of three parts: the valve
cap (a) (to protect the internal mechanism from dust
and ensure an airtight seal), an internal mechanism
(b) and the base (c) (outer coating).
Tubeless Inflator. An inflation system which simplifies the inflation of tubeless tyres.
Bead insertion. Operation which takes place during inflation and ensures perfect centring
between the bead and the edge of the rim.
Bead pressing gripper. A tool intended for use during mounting of the top bead. It is fit-
ted so that it grips the shoulder of the rim and holds the tyre’s top bead inside the drop
centre. It is generally used for mounting low profile tyres.
Discharge regulator. Union allowing regulation of the air flow.
Bead breaking. Operation in which the bead of the tyre is detached from the edge of
the rim.
