When installing a road bicycle tyre, first make sure that the size and specifications of the tire match the rim. Then, follow the steps below to install it:
1. Prepare tools: Prepare the required tools, such as tire levers, pumps, etc.
2. Remove the old tire: If you are replacing a tire, you need to remove the old tire first. Use a tire lever to pry the tire off the rim, taking care not to damage the rim.
3. Check the rim: Check if the rim is damaged or deformed. If there is a problem, repair or replace it in time.
4. Install a new tire:
Install one side of the new tire to the rim first, pay attention to the direction of the tire, and make sure that the direction indicated by the arrow is consistent with the direction of the wheel rolling.
Insert the inner tube nozzle into the nozzle hole of the rim.
Insert the entire inner tube into the outer tube from both sides of the nozzle, and pay attention to keep the inner tube flat and not twisted.
Gradually pry the other side of the outer tube into the rim, and be careful not to puncture the inner tube when using the tire lever.
5. Adjust the tire: Make sure the tire is installed flat without wrinkles or twists. Check whether the tire is in even contact with the edge of the rim. If there is any unevenness, you can gently adjust it with your hands or tools.
6. Inflate: Use an air pump to inflate the inner tube, and pay attention to inflate according to the air pressure value marked on the tire. During the inflation process, check whether the tire is abnormally bulging or leaking.
7. Check the installation: Finally, check whether the tire is installed firmly, turn the wheel, and check whether the tire has friction or collision with the rim and frame.
