WARNING
@
Do not use a tubeless tire on a wheel
designed only for tube tires to avoid tire
failure and personal injury from sudden
deflation.
When using a tube tire, be sure to install
the correct tube.
Always replace a new tube tire and a new
tube as a set.
To avoid pinching the tube, make sure the
wheel rim band and tube are centered in
the wheel groove.
Patching a punctured tube is not recom-
mended. If it is absolutely necessary to
do so, use great care and replace the tube
as soon as possible with a good quality
replacement.
