3. ASSEMBLY
3.1 FITTING THE TIRES WITHOUT A TUBE
DT Swiss recommends the use of the separately available DT Swiss Tubeless Ready Tape and DT Swiss
tubeless valves. The DT Swiss Tubeless Ready Tape must be used in the width appropriate to the rim.
For further information visit www.dtswiss.com.
DT Swiss offers no functional guarantee for the tubeless system since we are unable to exert any
influence on the tires and sealant used.
NOTE
Potential damage to the rim from unsuitable sealant fluid!
• DT Swiss recommends sealant fluid not containing materials which increase corrosion.
If in doubt, you must contact the manufacturer.
• The rim base must be inspected regularly for corrosion damage.
If there is visible corrosion, the rim must not be used further.
• In the case of corrosion clearly caused by the use of unsuitable sealant fluid, DT Swiss declines
any liability and warranty whatsoever.
1. Make sure that DT Swiss Tubeless Ready Tape and a DT Swiss tubeless valve are mounted.
2. Put sealant fluid into the tires. Comply with the instructions of the sealant manufacturer.
3. Assemble the wheels according to the manufacturer's specifications.
→ We recommend using soapy water or installation fluid.
4. Pump the tires up to their maximum approved pressure.
→ The lower of the pressures specified for the rim (see table at start of this user manual) or tire

5. Check the tire bead seat.
→ The tire bead must contact the rim evenly around its entire circumference.
→ Have the tire bead seat checked by a professional if in any doubt.
6. If necessary, reduce the tire pressure to the desired operating pressure.
