Inspection, Adjustment & Lubrication
4. With the tire lever, lift and roll the rim strip
over the opposite rim hook (Figure 3.10.8).
5. Continue to roll the rim strip up and out of the
rim as you work your way fully around the rim.
To install the rim strip
There are two styles of tubeless rim strips; one
for symmetric rims, and one for asymmetric rims
where the spoke bed is not centered in the rim.
Make sure you are installing the correct type of
strip for your rim, and that if you are installing
an asymmetric rim strip, that you have correctly
oriented it with the rim.
Make sure the rim strip is in good condition, with
no tears, holes, or deformed areas near the valve
hole or along its edges.
1. Align the valve hole in the rim with the valve
hole in the and rim strip.
2. Place the tubeless valve stem through the rim
strip valve hole, and then the rim.
Note: the ‘U’ shape of the rim strip should face the same
direction as the ‘U’ shape of the rim well (Figure 3.10.9).
3. Work the rim strip into the rim, moving away
from the valve stem in both directions until
six to ten inches (15 to 25cm) rim strip remain
outside the rim.
4. With your fingers, lift and slightly stretch the
rim strip so that it can be laid flat in the rim
well.
5. Follow the appropriate installation procedures to
install a tire.
