If one of these conditions is detected, please visit a
qualified mechanic or special personnel for an accurate
inspection of the locking, since its damage may cause
accidents, and serious or fatal injuries.
After every washing, remove the locking from the hub and grease
the pin completely to prevent oxidation.
IN SECTIONS 1, 2, 3 AND 4 YOU WILL FIND USEFUL IN-
FORMATION ON HOW TO FIT UST TUBELESS TIRES
Section 1:
Fitting the UST Tubeless tyre
Warning:
If you have any doubts about your ability to perform any
of the following procedures, seek advice from qualified
personnel.
For your safety, always wear gloves and goggles when
performing repair and maintenance on your wheels.
The Wheels are predisposed to fit UST Tubeless tires. If the tire
mounted too easily, the tire is most likely too large.
Warning: oversized tyres may deflate unexpectedly and
cause accidents, as well as serious or fatal injuries.
If necessary, use a lever to help insert the tire beads, use a plastic
lever so as to avoid damaging the rim.
Warning: avoid using
sharp objects so as to prevent damage to the tire.
To install the UST Tubeless tire, please follow these simple steps:
• Moisten the base of the rim with soap and water.
• Starting from the valve, insert the first of the two tyre beads into
place, and continue along the entire circumference of the wheel.
• Insert the second tyre bead into place, and continue along the
entire circumference of the wheel: check that the tyre is positioned
correctly on both sides of the valve area.
To check that the tyre is positioned correctly, slowly wiggle the
tyre back and forth.
Section 2:
Inflating the UST Tubeless tire
Warning:
If you have any doubts about your ability to perform any
of the following procedures, seek advice from qualified
personnel.
For your safety, always wear gloves and goggles when
performing repair and maintenance on your wheels.
Before inflating the UST Tubeless tire, we recommend that you
use the anti-puncture liquid by following these simple steps:
• Remove the valve cap.
• Using your index finger, gently press the top of the valve so as to
ensure there is no air inside the tire.
• Remove the top part of the valve using the appropriate tools.
• Insert the anti-puncture liquid using the appropriate dispenser.
Spin the wheel around several times to distribute the liquid throu-
ghout the inside of the tire.
• Put the top part of the valve back into place.
• Inflate until you achieve the desired inflation pressure. Never
exceed the maximum pressure recommended by the tire manu
-
facturer. Make sure the two tire beads are positioned correctly by
verifying that the distance between the tire centring line and the
margin of the tire is constant around the entire circumference of
the wheel.
• Put back the valve cap.
• Ride the bicycle for 3-4 kms so as to ensure the liquid inside the
tire is evenly distributed.
When you puncture the tire, the air leakage is slow and not im-
mediate, and in some cases allows you to keep on pedaling back
home. Keep in mind that a UST Tubeless tire can be repaired by
applying a puncture repair patch or spray, or by inserting an inner
tube.
SECTION 3
:
Inserting an inner tube in a UST
Tubeless tire in the event of a puncture
The inner tube must be fitted with a Presta valve that has a 6 mm
diameter:
• Deflate the tire.
• Starting from the opposite side of the valve, uncouple the bead
from its seat and continue along the entire circumference of the
wheel. If you must use a lever to uncouple the tire beads, use a
plastic lever so as to avoid damaging the rim and tire.
Warning: avoid using sharp objects so as to prevent da-
mage to the rim and tire.
• Unscrew the valve ring and remove it.
• Insert the partially inflated inner tube into the tire.
• Starting from the point opposite the valve hole, insert the second
tire bead into place and continue along the entire circumference of
the wheel, be careful not to pinch the inner tube.
• Inflate the inner tube until both tire beads are fitted properly in
the correct position.
• Inflate until you achieve the desired inflation pressure. Do not
exceed the maximum pressure recommended by the tire manu
-
facturer.
Section 4:
Nipple replacement
If you need to replace a nipple, please proceed as follows:
• Starting from the point opposite the valve, disassemble the Tube
-
less tire. If you must use a lever to uncouple the tire beads, use a
plastic lever so as to avoid damaging the rim and tire.
Warning: avoid using sharp objects so as to prevent da-
mage to the rim and tire.
We recommend placing the wheel in a position that prevents the
nipples from falling into the rim.
• Cut the tape using a sharp object.
• Remove the nipples from the rim, taking care not to drop the
washer into the rim.
• Once the nipples have been removed, insert the new nipples and
washers, and close the hole using the tape so as to seal it. Before
replacing the spoke, dip the new spoke into thread-locking fluid
for better grip.
To install the Tubeless tire, please follow the simple steps indicated
in Section 1.
