Disassembly
• Remove air from the inner tube and move the tire bead to the center and base of
the rim (Figure 26).
• Remove one side of the tire bead from the inside of the rim. This can be made
easier by using a tire lever. Be careful not to damage the rim or pinch the inner
tube whilst doing this.
• Replace the inner tube and/or the tire.
Assembly :
• Add a little air to the inner tube so that it takes the form of a circle.
• Place the inner tube in the tire then the valve in the hole in the rim.
• Place the first side of the tire bead into the base of the rim starting at the valve
(Figure 28).
• Place the inner tube into the rim (Figure 29).
• Then push the second side of the tire bead into the rim, taking care not to pinch the
inner tube between the tire and the rim (Figure 27).
• Pump up the inner tube to the advised pressure level (Figure 30).
• Check the tire is correctly centered on the rim. If it is not correct, let air out of the inner
tube then re-inflate it. To make this easier, you can use a little soapy water to wet the
side of the rim and tire when the inner tube is deflated.
• Make sure you check the air pressure of your tires before and after each ride.

4.6 KICK-STAND
The kick-stand is made of aluminum. It is placed as close as possible
to the rear wheel for the greatest stability and to avoid it coming into
contact with the cranks when the bike is immobile. Its length can easily
be modified. It is therefore easy to adjust it as needed, for example
when your bike is parked on a slope.
For best stability, your bike should not be positioned too vertical or
too leaned over. The Figure 31 shows the Ideal angle for parking your
bike on flat ground.
