• To properly set the tube and tire onto the rim, inflate the inner tube to between 2-3 atmospheres.
Next, manually set the tube and tire on the rim, ensuring that the tire bead is evenly positioned
around the outside circumference of the rim. Make sure that the tube is correctly positioned
within the tire and that the tire is correctly positioned onto the rim. Lastly, inflate the tube fully
to the correct pressure. Please inflate the tube slowly, making sure that you maintain the correct
positioning of the valve stem, tube and tire on the rim.
• To deflate the tire:
remove the valve cap, unscrew the presta-valve, press and hold down the valve
core to obtain required pressure. Tighten the presta-valve and replace the cap.
WARNING:
Check that the clincher rim shows no sign of significant wear, contamination, damage
or deformation along the sidewall or brake track. This could cause the rim to unexpectedly break
resulting in an accident, injury, or death.
WARNING:
Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer
for the cross section of the clincher tire that you are using. See the “Opearting Pressures” table in
Section 9 of this manual. Excess tire pressure reduces the tire’s grip on the road and increases the
risk of the tire unexpectedly bursting. Inflation pressure that is too low reduces tire performance
and increases the probability of sudden and unexpected loss of tire pressure. In addition,
premature wear and damage to the rim may occur. Incorrect tire pressure could cause tire failure
or loss of control of the bicycle resulting in an accident, injury or death.
WARNING:
Replace the wheel when the distance between the shoulders/hook beads of a road
rim is greater than 15mm mountain rim greater than 17mm (Fig. 2). A deformed rim may cause
the clincher to suddenly fail resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
4. TUBULAR TIRES
WARNING: TUBULAR RIM/TUBULAR TIRE COMPATIBILITY
All Reynolds rims are built in strict accordance with E.T.R.T.O. specifications, and are very
dimensionally precise. Use only high quality tubular tires, tubular tire glue and follow
manufacturer’s recommended installation procedure. Take your time and use extra care to
ensure correct installation of the tire and glue onto the rim. Tires that lack sufficient glue bond,
fit loosely on the rims, have defective base tape, are improperly installed or ridden before glue
has sufficiently dried, can cause unexpected tire failure or separation from wheel resulting in an
accident, injury or death.
• Before gluing and mounting tires to your new Reynolds wheels, take note of the serial numbers
located in the tire bed opposite the valve stem hole. These serial numbers are required to register
your Reynolds Cycling warranty.
• The tubular wheel you have purchased is designed to use 28˝ X 22mm diameter tubular tires.
• Before fitting the tires, check that the diameter indicated on the tire is 633/28˝ and that the cross
section is approximately 22mm to ensure that the tire and wheel are compatible in accordance with
