MAINTENANCE

If your comes with tube tires, follow the next instructions:
1. Depress the tire valve to let all the air out of the tube, which will assist in removing
the tube from the wheel .
2.  Remove  the  wheel  from  the                                using  a  wrench.  Loosen  the  nuts
counterclockwise and make sure to remove the wheel retention clips on the rear wheel.
Be sure to remember where all the spacers and washers belong.  For rear tire removal
you will also need to slip the chain off the rear sprocket to remove the wheel. The chain
must be properly reinstalled and re-tentioned when reinstalling the rear wheel.
3. Remove one bead of the tire from the rim by grasping it at a point opposite the valve
stem with both hands and, at the same time, lifting and peeling one side of the tire off
the rim. If the bead is on too tight for you to unseat it with your hands use tire levers to
lift  the  bead  carefully  over  the  tire  rim. Tire  levers  can  be  purchased  at  any  local  bike
shop. Push the valve stem through the wheel rim. Remove the inner tube.
4. Carefully check the outside and inside of the tire for the cause of the puncture and
remove any debris or damaging material from the inside or outside of the tire.

                   PATCHING A TUBE IS AN EMERGENCY REPAIR.  CARELESS PATCHING OR
APPLYING  SEVERAL  PATCHES  CAN  SERIOUSLY  WEAKEN  THE  TUBE,  RESULTING  IN
POSSIBLE  TUBE  FAILURE,  WHICH  COULD  CAUSE  YOU  TO  LOSE  CONTROL  AND  FALL.
REPLACE A PATCHED TUBE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

5.  Reinstall  the  tire  and  tube.  Slip  one  tire  bead  over  the  rim.  Insert  the  tube  valve
through its hole in the rim.  Feed the tube carefully into the cavity of the tire. Inflate the
tube just enough to give it some shape. Starting at the valve stem and working around
both sides of the rim to the side opposite the valve stem, use your thumbs to push and
seat the other bead of the tire inside the rim.
                        IF YOU USE A SCREWDRIVER OR ANY TOOL OTHER THAN A TIRE LEVER,
YOU ARE LIKELY TO PUNCTURE THE TUBE.

6. Check to make sure that the tire is evenly seated around both sides of the rim and
that the tube is inside the tire beads. Inflate the tube slowly to the recommended
pressure on the tire sidewall, all the while checking to make sure that the tire beads stay
seated in the rim.

FLAT TIRE REPAIR

Your may come with tubeless tires or tires with tubes. For tubeless tires we
recommend you carry a tubeless tire repair kit and use it on any minor puncture. Consult with
professional tire repair service shop to make sure your repair will hold. It is a good idea to
carry a portable compressor and tubeless tire liquid sealer. That will help you to be back on
road in a few minutes if you have flat without even removing the wheel.

Don't ride or push your with a flat tire. This will cause the tire
beads to detach from the rim and possibly damage the rim.
IF THE TIRE IS CUT, or if the puncture is too large to be effectively plugged
YOU MUST REPLACE THE TIRE TO PREVENT ANY SUDDEN AND
CATASTROPHIC FAILURE CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL, SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
