CLINCHER AND FOLDING TYRES Tyre removal
Remove the cap and the fastening nut off the valve and deflate the tyre completely (a). Press the tyre from the sides towards the centre of the rim around its entire circumference. This will ease the removal.
Apply a plastic tyre lever to one bead of the tyre about 5 cm beside the valve and lever the tyre out of the rim in this area (b). Hold the tyre lever tight in its position. Slip the second tyre lever between rim and tyre at a distance of about ten centimetres on the other side of the valve and lever the next portion of the bead over the edge of the rim (c).
After levering a part of the tyre bead over the edge of the rim you should normally be able to slip off the whole tyre on one side by moving the tyre lever around the whole circumference. Now you can remove the inner tube. Make sure the valve does not get caught in the rim, as this can damage the inner tube. If necessary you can remove the whole tyre by pulling the other tyre bead off the rim.
Repair the puncture according to the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer or replace the inner tube by a new one.
When you have removed the tyre, you should also check the rim tape (d). It should lie squarely in the rim trough, covering all spoke nipples, and should neither be damaged nor brittle.
In the case of double wall rims the tape must cover the entire rim base, but it should not be so broad as to stand up along the inside edges of the rim trough. Rim tapes for this type of rim should only be made of fabric or durable plastic. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your URBAN JUNGLE dealer.
