Choosing the Correct Inner Tube

Installation and Safety Guidance
Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and safety of your inner tube and tyre. Before installation:
- Carefully inspect the inside of the tyre for any sharp objects, debris, or damage that could puncture the new tube.
- Ensure the rim strip is in good condition and properly seated to protect the inner tube from spoke ends.
- Partially inflate the inner tube before inserting it into the tyre to give it shape and help prevent pinching during installation.
- When seating the tyre bead, ensure the inner tube is not pinched between the tyre and the rim.
- Inflate the tyre gradually, checking that the tyre bead is evenly seated around the rim on both sides.
- Always inflate to the pressure recommended on your tyre's sidewall, not exceeding the maximum stated pressure.
- After installation, check the tyre pressure regularly and before each ride to maintain optimal performance and safety.
