Wheel care
Use ALgrease when changing tyres
 |
Frequent
changing of tyres in undesirable conditions, use of water-based
lubricants for tyre fitting, as well as neglect of the surface of
the bead seat undoubtedly lead to loss of air caused by corrosion,
oxidization of the aluminium and dirt build up.
Certain types of rubber can "fuse" to the bead seat of the wheel.
If this rubber & other residues are not removed before the fitment
of a new tyre the uneven surface can lead to loss of air. |
|
|
|
| Before
mounting a new tyre clean the bead seats thoroughly with a wire
brush or an appropriate power tool until a smooth & clean surface
is reached |
|
|
| Remove
the valves core when cleaning the bead seats to avoid dirt build
up in the valve-shaft, which could cause malfunctioning of the valve |
|
|
| Apply
a film of ALgrease to both bead seats, rim horns, humps and curved
sides of the rim well |
|
|
| Also
apply ALgrease to both beads of the tyre |
| |
| Proceed
with mounting of the tyre according to mounting procedures and safety
guidelines provided by the tyre companies |
Avoid using strong abrasive tools and / or excessive force that could cause dents in the surface. Uneven or damaged surfaces can lead to leakage
