Sclaverand valves are used on your FLYER E-
MTB. It is a simple matter to measure tyre pres
-
sure by fitting a pressure gauge to the open valve.
Tubes may only be changed for identical, original
tubes.
Tubeless Ready Tyres
To ensure optimum riding at all times, even off-
road, FLYER MTBs are fitted with tubeless-ready
tyres. You enjoy the benefits of simple, tried-and-
tested handling, e.g. in the case of an inner tube
repair, but if you want you can also exploit the
better riding characteristics of tubeless tyres. The
outer tyre covers supplied ex works are ready for
tubeless use along with a rim sealant. With this
simple conversion which you should have under
-
taken by your FLYER dealer, you can then enjoy
the benefits of improved traction in off-road use
and greater protection from punctures.
Tubeless tyres must only be mounted
and removed from the rims without tools,
otherwise this could lead to leaks. If the
sealant is not sufficient for preventing
damage, a normal tube can be used af
-
ter removing the valve from the tubeless
system.

Dealing with a flat tyre
Correct and safe repair of a flat tyre requires
specialised e-bike knowledge and special tools.
Have technical defects and flat tyres exclusively
repaired by your FLYER specialist retailer.
Repairing a tire puncture involves having
to adjust safety-relevant components.
Incorrect mounting of the wheels and
brakes can lead to severe falls and inju
-
ries. We strongly advise you not to repair
a tire puncture alone. Ask your FLYER
retailer to fix the tire puncture for you.
Get thorough instructions from your
FLYER specialist dealer and practise
changing the wheels and tyres under
their supervision if you plan to repair
your own flat tyres. The system must be
switched off and the battery must be re
-
moved before changing a tyre or wheel.
You need the following equipment to repair a tire
puncture:
•
Plastic tire lever
•
Patches
•
Rubber cement
•
Sandpaper
•
Open-ended spanner or wrench (for wheels
without quick release skewers)
•
Air pump
•
Spare tube
Your FLYER is equipped with a disc brake. This
way, you can remove the wheel without doing any
further preparation.
Please note: when fitting the wheel, the disk must
be slotted between the brake linings of the brake
calliper and ultimately be centred without contact.
2. Removing the wheel
•
If your FLYER is equipped with a quick-release
lever or a thru axel, open them.
•
If your bike has hexagonal bolts, then loosen
them in anti-clockwise direction with a fitting
ring spanner or box-end wrench.
You can then remove
the front wheel ac
-
cording to the steps
listed above.
The following applies for rear wheels:
•
If your FLYER uses a derailleur gear system,
change gear to the smallest sprocket. In this
position, the rear derailleur poses the least hin
-
drance in removing the wheel.
•
If your FLYER is equipped with a quick-release
lever or a thru axel, open them.
•
If your FLYER has hex nuts, loosen these with
a suitable spanner anti-clockwise.
•
Pull the rear derailleur backwards somewhat.
•
Lift the bike slightly.
•
Lightly strike the wheel from above with the
palm of the hand.
•
Take the wheel out of the frame.
