REPAIRING, REPLACING REAR
WHEEL TIRE/TUBE
WARNING
Replacement of a clincher tire or tube MUST be
performed by a qualified technician.
NOTE: TUBULAR TIRES are tires with tubes sewn into the
tires, they are high pressure (140+ lbs. psi) and must be
glued to the rim. Once they have a hole in them, they
must be replaced. Also, tubular tires will lose air overnight,
but they are not faulty. This is a characteristic of tubular tires.
Tubular tires do not fit on a clincher rim.
NOTE: CLINCHER TIRES are like conventional bicycle tires,
there is an inner tube separate from the actual tire. They are
more durable for longer periods of time and if punctured the
tube can be replaced (by a qualified technician) and the tire
will still be in tact. Clincher tires use 100+ lbs. psi. Clincher
tires do not fit on a tubular rim.
REPLACING PUSHRIMS (FIGURE 2)
1. Remove the rear wheel from the racing chair.
2. Loosen the allen screws that secure the existing pushrim
to the rear wheel.
3. Remove the existing pushrim.
4. Install the new pushrim onto the rear wheel and se-
curely tighten the allen screws.
NOTE: Ensure the rim is pushing onto the spokes at the top
of the rear wheel.
5. Reinstall rear wheel onto the racing chair.
