Generously coat the tire with the appropriate mounting compound and completely deflate the tire.

Remove the tire from the rim

Carefully place the tire lever against the tire and pry the tire off the rim little by little.

If necessary, clean the inside of the rim before installing the new tire.

Install a new tire

Apply mounting compound to the rim and the new tire again.

Use the tire levers to mount the new tire back onto the rim.

Inflating and Cleaning Tires

Inflate the tire to about 3 bar using the air compressor. Then, if necessary, let some air out until the correct pressure is reached.

Then remove all traces of the assembly paste.

When assembling the unit, make sure that all screws are tightened properly and that no cables are pinched or damaged.

Check the result

After assembly, check that the front wheel is properly seated and spins freely. Also check that the drum brake is working properly, that the tire is properly seated on the rim, and that it is inflated to the correct pressure.
