• The wheel you have purchased is designed to use tubular tires.
• Check to insure that the diameter and cross-section of the tubular tire you plan to use are
compatible with the dimension of the rim.
• The first time the tubular tyre is applied sand the rim with 120 grain sandpaper in order to
eliminate the surface polish and degrease only the rim gluing surface with acetone before
applying the glue for the installation of the tubular tyre. We recommend using at least 2
coats of glue on the rim and one on the tyre and leaving the glue to dry at least 12 hours
between one gluing and the next. Wait at least 24 hours after gluing the tubular tyre before
using the wheel.
• Ensure that, when high pressure is applied by hand on the tubular tyre, it does not detach
from the wheel.
• To remove the tubular tyre from the rim, unglue the tubular tyre in an area sufficient to
insert a screwdriver between the rim and the tubular tyre; moving the screwdriver along the
rim, unglue the tubular tyre (Fig.1).
- Do not remove the tyre off the rim (Fig. 1.1).
- after removing the tubular tyre, before gluing the new one, only clean the rim gluing
surface with acetone.
• In order to ensure correct installation of the tubular tyre, check the tyre manufacturer
mounting instructions as well.
WARNING!
• Because of the high temperatures reached when breaking, we recommend you
use only glue for tubular tires specifically for carbon fibre rims.
• Incorrect mounting of the tyre may cause it to deflate, burst or detach sud-
denly and cause accidents, physical injuries or even death.
• Do not carry out any operation that may create scratches or cuts on the rim or
which, in any way whatsoever, may damage it. A damaged rim can break sud-
denly and cause accidents, physical injuries or even death.
