3. TIRES

• The wheel you have purchased is designed to use tubular tires.
• Having fitted the suitable tubular tire, check that diameter and
cross-section are compatible with the dimensions of the wheel.
• The installation of the tubular tire on the wheel is an operation
which requires special attention; refer to the instructions enclosed
with the tubular tire. We recommend, in any case, applying at least
3 coats of glue to the rim and 1 coat to the tire and to leave the
tubular tire to "set" for at least 24 hours before using the wheel.
WARNING!
Failure to properly install the tire can cause sudden
and unexpected loss of tire pressure and an accident.
• Use acetone to degrease the bonding surface of the rim before
applying the glue for tubular tire installation.
WARNING!
Do not sand-paper the rim before installing the tubular
tire. Do not perform any operations which may
cause abrasions, scratches or cuts to the rim or which may
damage it in any other way.

3.1 - INFLATING AND DEFLATING THE TIRE.
• To inflate the tire: remove the cap, unscrew the valve and inflate
using a compressor or a pump with a pressure gauge to obtain the
required pressure, then tighten the valve and re-fit the cap.
• To deflate the tire: remove the cap, slightly unscrew the valve,
then press it until the required pressure is obtained; tighten the
valve and re-fit the cap.
CAUTION!
Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure
recommended by the tire manufacturer.
Note.
• The tire pressure should also be adjusted depending on the weight
of the rider; a heavy rider should have a greater tire pressure than
a light rider.
• IMPORTANT: if the inflation pressure is too low, this not only reduces
tire performance but also increases the probability of sudden and
unexpected loss of tire pressure. In addition premature wear and
damage to the rim may occur. Excessive tire pressure reduces grip
on the road and increases the risk that the tire will unexpectedly
burst. These conditions can cause loss of control of the bicycle
and an accident.
