TUFO CLINCHER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Storage:
Store our tubular clincher tires always in a dark and dry place. Best stored on a rim, inflated to 8 bars (115 psi).

Use:
Always inflate the tire according to the specifications on the tire label. Check the tire for possible damage before riding (wear, cuts, separation or bumps). Do not use damaged tire.
After a ride, clean tires thoroughly. Do not use any solvent based cleaners.
When using the tires on a roller trainer, always inflate to the maximum air pressure as indicated on the tire label. This will prevent the tires from overheating and possible destruction.

Mounting:
1.Make sure that the rim is the right size, according to the tire label. Do not use rim tape. Do not use any tools.
2.Place the wheel on a firm surface (valve opening on top). Slide the tire valve through valve hole in the rim. Starting from the valve, stretch the tire evenly on both sides (fig. 1a) and lay half of the bottom rubber profile into the rim well (fig. 1b) step by step, all around (fig. 1c).
If the tubular clincher tire is hard to put on towards the end (fig. 1d), do not use excessive force but start mounting again from the valve and stretch the tire harder.

 

 

3.Inflate the tire slightly (fig. 2) to around 1 bar (15 psi).

 

 

4.Lift the tire from the rim well with fingers (fig. 3a) and fit the groove of the rubber bead profile into the rim lip (fig. 3b)

all around one side of the rim. If you cannot lift the tire, deflate it slightly.

 

 

5.Push with thumbs on the other side of the rubber bead profile (fig. 4a) and fit the groove into the rim lip all around again (fig. 4b).

 

 

6.Inflate the tire to 5 bars (75 psi) and check for fit on both sides of the rim. Refit if necessary (fig. 5).

 

 

7.Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure as indicated on the tire label.
