Setup uye Installation
Proper installation is crucial for tire performance and safety. Always ensure your rim is clean and free of debris before mounting. Refer to your wheel manufacturer's instructions for specific wheel-related procedures.
Tire and Tube Preparation
- Sarudza Hukuru Hwakarurama: Ensure the new tire matches the size specifications of your rim. The tire size (e.g., 700cm x 25) is indicated on the tire sidewall.
- Ongorora Rim: Check the state of the rim and the rim strip. The rim strip must completely cover the rim base.
- Utsanana: Make sure that nothing gets inside the tire (sand, stones, etc.) that could damage the inner tube. Always place the tire and wheel on a clean surface.
- Divi yekutenderera: Pay attention to the tire's specified direction of rotation, as indicated on the tire sidewall.
- New Tube: Tubes also age. For that reason, you should mount a new tube when you mount a new tire.
Kukwidza Tire
- Press one side of the tire completely onto one side of the rim. This should be possible on each side of the rim without tools.
- Unscrew the valve cap and the lock ring from the valve.
- Turn on the valve nut and press it onto the tube. Inflate the tube slightly so that it takes a round shape, then close the valve nut.
- Place the valve in the valve hole of the rim, but do not yet fix the valve in place with the retaining nut.
- Insert the tube completely into the tire. Watch that the tube does not crease at any point.
- Starting at a point opposite the valve, press the loose tire side over the flange of the rim. Move along at the same pace to both sides of the starting point.
- If mounting by hand doesn't work, use Continental tire levers to get the sides of the tire over the flange of the rim.
- Check the valve: If it is not standing straight up, you have to pull a tire bead out of the rim again and rearrange the tube.
- To enable the tire and the tube to settle on the rim free of stress, inflate the tire to half the maximum inflation pressure and flex it back and forth over the full circumference of the wheel.
- Then, press the whole valve back into the rim with an energetic thrust and pull it back out again. Open the valve nut.

Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance extends the life of your tires and ensures safe riding.
- Tyre Pressure: Always check the tire pressure before each ride. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure range indicated on the tire sidewall (e.g., 8.5 BAR - 120 PSI). Never inflate your tire beyond the maximum permitted pressure to avoid blowouts or the tire popping off the rim. Insufficient pressure can cause pinching of the tube.
- Kuongorora: Regularly inspect the tire for cuts, punctures, or excessive wear. Remove any embedded debris.
- Kuchenesa: Keep tires clean from dirt and road grime. Use mild soap and water if necessary.
- Kuchengeta: Store your bicycle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent rubber degradation.

- Frequent Punctures: Check the tire for embedded sharp objects or excessive wear. Ensure the rim strip is intact and covers all spoke holes. Maintain correct tire pressure.
