5.4 Demounting tube-type tires

· To demount the tire operate as described for tubeless
tires in section 5.1.A through section 5.1
In this case the valve cannot be replaced because it is
part of the tube.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE TUBE DURING
THE BEAD-BREAKING OPERATION. THE VALVE
SHOULD BE OPPOSITE TO THE BLADE OF THE
BEAD BREAKER.
· To demount the fi rst bead, place the valve at 3 o'clock
position.
DO NOT CATCH THE TUBE WITH THE BEAD
LIFTING TOOL, WHEN LIFTING THE BEAD ON THE
MOUNTING FINGER.
After demounting the fi rst bead remove the tube before
demounting the second bead, as described in section 5.1.
