Bontrager Tubeless Ready Tire Manuale Proprietario

Option 2 – Adding the sealant before the tire is completely mounted

Work carefully to avoid spilling any sealant.

1. Hold the wheel perpendicular to the ground and rotate the

unmounted portion of the tire so that it is at the 6 o’clock position.

2. Pull the unmounted bead away from the rim to create a gap, and

squeeze the proper amount of sealant through the gap into the

inner portion of the tire.

3. Carefully rotate the wheel so that the unmounted portion of the bead

is at the 12 o’clock position and finish mounting the second bead.

1. If you have been using a tube, install the tubeless valve.

Use your fingers to tighten the valve nut. Donʼt use pliers- if you puncture on the trail,

you will have to be able to remove the nut by hand.

2. Lubricate the rim and tire beads with soapy water.
3. Install the first tire bead onto the rim.

Start 180 degrees away from the valve and position the bead into the center channel of

the rim. Push the bead over the rim, working your way to the portion near the valve.

4. Start the installation of the second bead.

As in Step 3, start on the side opposite the valve. Position the second tire bead in the

central channel of the rim and continue around the rim in both directions towards the

valve area. When the bead becomes tight, complete the installation using one of the

options below.

Option 1 – Adding the sealant through the valve

1. Finish installing the second tire bead. Make sure

that the beads fit properly on either side of the

valve before adding the sealant.

2. Loosen the inner portion of the valve with pliers

and remove the core (Figure 2).

3. Trim the tip of the plastic sealant bottle to fit the

outer diameter of the valve core, or use a piece

of plastic tubing that is a tight fit on both the

core and the tip of the bottle to transport the

sealant into the wheel.

4. Carefully squeeze the proper amount of sealant

into the wheel (Fig. 3).

5. Use a tire pump and push air through the valve

to clear sealant out of the threaded area.

6. Replace the valve core and tighten it gently in

place with pliers.
