ing spokes, rust or other potential causes. If needed,
replace the rim tape which covers the spoke ends.
8. Remount one side of the tyre into the rim.
9. Using a hand pump, slightly inflate the tube to give
it some shape.
10. Insert the valve stem through the hole in the rim,
and work the tube into the tyre. NOTE: Make sure
that the valve stem is not twisted or deformed.
11. Remount the other side of the tyre by pushing the
edge toward the centre of the rim using only your
hands. Start on either side of the valve and work
your way around the rim.
12. Before the tyre is completely mounted, push the
valve up the rim to make sure that the tyre can sit
squarely in position.
13. Remount the rest of the tyre, rolling the last, most
difficult part using your thumbs.
CAUTION:
Avoid
using tyre leavers as these can easily puncture the
tube or damage the tyre.
14. Check that the tube is not caught between the rim
and the tyre bead at any point.
15. Using a hand pump, inflate the tube until the tyre
begins to take shape. Check that the tyre bead is
evenly seated all the way around the rim. When
properly seated, fully inflate the tyre to the recom-
mended pressure.
16. Replace the wheel into the frame checking that all
gears, brakes and quick release levers are properly
adjusted.
Cables and cable housing
Cables and their housing are one of the most over-
looked parts on the bicycle. The first indication that
your cables and housing need to be replaced is an
increased amount of pressure needed to operate the
brakes or the gear shifter.
Before every ride, check that there are no kinks or frays
in the cables and housing (see figure). Check that the
brake cables are correctly routed and not wrapped
around the stem or frame in a manner that prevents
smooth operation or hampers control of the bicycle.
Also check that the housing is seated properly into
each cable stop of the bicycle. It is recommended that
the cables and housing are replaced at least every rid-
ing season to prolong the life of your bicycle.
