• 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 lubricate the rim gluing surface with
acetone before applying the glue for 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 suf-
OK!
ficient 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 tubular tyre tearing it from the rim (Fig. 2).

- After removing the tubular tyre, before gluing the new one, clean the surface of
the rim with acetone.
• In order to ensure correct installation of the tubular tyre, check the tyre manufac-
turer 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
NO!
or which, in any way whatsoever, may damage it. A damaged rim can break
suddenly and cause accidents, physical injuries or even death.
