tion.
SWhen using a tube tire, be sure to install the
correct tube.
SAlways replace a new tube tire and a new
tube as a set.
STo avoid pinching the tube, make sure the
wheel rim band and tube are centered in the
wheel groove.

mended. If it is absolutely necessary to do
so, use great care and replace the tube as
soon as possible with a good quality re-
placement.
