Work the tyre into the rim by approaching the valve symmetrically from both sides. Towards the end, you will have to pull the tyre vigorously downwards (a) to make the already mounted portion of the tyre slip towards the deepest part of the rim well. This will ease the job noticeably on the last centimetres.
Before fitting the tyre completely on the rim check again whether the inner tube lies properly inside the tyre and press the last stretch of tyre over the edge of the rim using the balls of your thumbs.
If this does not work, you will have to use the tyre levers (b). Make sure the bent ends point towards the inner tube and the inner tube does not get damaged.
Push the valve subsequently a little into the tyre so that the inner tube does not get caught between the rim and the tyre beads. Check whether the valve stands upright. If not, dismount one bead again and reposition the inner tube.
To make sure the inner tube does not get pinched between the rim and the bead, move the tyre sideways back and forth between the sides of the rim. While doing so, also check whether the rim tape has shifted.
Inflate the inner tube to the desired pressure. The maximum pressure is indicated on the side of the tyre.
Check whether the tyre is properly seated by inspecting the fine witness line just above the rim edge. This line should be even to the rim all around the tyre (c). If it is not, deflate the tyre a little and check again. Starting from the maximum tyre pressure you can now reduce the pressure through the valve to suit your needs. Observe the recommended tyre pressure range.
REMOUNTING THE WHEEL
Mounting the wheel is done in the reverse order of dismounting. Make sure the wheel is correctly seated in the drop-outs and accurately centred between the fork legs or the seat and chainstays. Make sure that the quick-release and the drop-out catches are correctly seated (d). For more information see the chapter «Using quick-releases».
