WARNING
• It is dangerous to ride with a worn out
tyre. When the tyre tread begins to show
signs of wear, replace the tyre immedi-
ately.
• Patching a punctured tube is not recom-
mended. If it is absolutely neccessary to
do so, use great care and replace the tube
as soon as possible with a good quality re-
placement tube.
• Do not use tubeless tyres on a wheel de-
signed for tube type tyres only. Tyre failure
and personal injury may result from sud-
den deflation.

After mounting a Tyre, ride conservatively
for a while to give the Tyre time to seat it-
self properly in the Rim, Failure to do so
