Do not use a tubeless tire on a wheel de-
signed only for tube tires to avoid tire
failure and personal injury from sudden
deflation.
When using a tube tire, be sure to install
the correct tube.
Always replace a new tube tire and a
new tube as a set.
To avoid pinching the tube, make sure
that the wheel rim band and tube are
centered in the wheel groove.
Patching a punctured tube is not rec-
ommended. If it is absolutely neces-
sary to do so, use great care and re-
place the tube as soon as possible with
a good quality replacement.
