WARNING/SAFETY RULE
DO NOT USE THE WHEELS WITH RIM BRAKE BRAKING SYSTEMS (CALLIPERS).

CAUTION/IMPORTANT
Danger of skin burns due to the high temperature of the brake rotor.
To avoid skin burns, it is important to allow the brake rotor to cool down before servicing the Wheels.

COMPONENTS AND TOOLS
CAUTION/IMPORTANT
Incorrect choice of components and/or tools can damage the Wheels.
DO NOT use metal tire levers. They can damage the rim, the tire, and even the inner tube.

TUBELESS READY SEALING TAPE
WARNING/SAFETY RULE
Worn or damaged Tubeless Ready sealing tape can cause a sudden loss of tire pressure.

CAUTION/IMPORTANT
Check the Tubeless Ready sealing tape at least every three months for wear.
Check the Tubeless Ready sealing tape after each tire change using a hard resin tire lever to verify its condition.
If there is damage or signs of damage and/or wear, the Wheels should not be used. If in doubt, contact your dealer or a professional mechanic.

TUBELESS READY TAPE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
It is recommended that you strictly follow the instructions provided by the Tubeless Ready tire manufacturer as well as the following general instructions if the Tubeless Ready sealing tape needs to be replaced:

1. Remove the tape previously affixed to the rim, using a tool (if necessary), such as a screwdriver, that allows the tape to be lifted and removed without damaging the rim underneath.
2. Clean the inside of the rim (including the bed and walls) with a cloth soaked in isopropyl alcohol.
3. Apply the tubeless tape, spreading it anti-clockwise from the crankset side of the wheel (side opposite the brake rotor).
4. The tubeless tape should be stretched as it is applied. As a rule, it should not wrinkle or adhere to the rim bed, remaining centred/symmetrical in relation to the width of the rim bed.
5. Apply the first strip of tubeless tape starting halfway between the second and third holes close to the valve bore, continue by including the valve bore and then continue by making a complete loop until you reach the valve bore again.
6. After passing the valve hole for the second time, cut the tubeless tape at the second and third holes.
7. Using a cutter, cut an ‘X’ to open the valve bore on the tubeless tape.
8. Use the water hole on the side of the rim as a reference to align the cutter with the valve bore covered by the tubeless tape.
9. Proceed by cutting an X, with two separate movements, using a cutter with blade tip on the tape to make the first cut
10. Turning the cutter perpendicular to the previous cut, make the second cut. Make cuts carefully to avoid cutting through rim walls.

CAUTION/IMPORTANT
The entire surface of the tape must be fully bonded to the rim bed at the end of the process. Tape strips must not be raised or stuck along the walls of the rim bed.
Cut the valve housing tape carefully to avoid cutting through rim walls.

If it is necessary to replace the sealing tape, use Reparto Corse replacement tape, together with the product in use specified in Table 2. Table 2.

*Components only available in kit form

TUBELESS VALVE
The tubeless valve is supplied by the Manufacturer. When replacing the tubeless valve, it is recommended to use genuine Reparto Corse spare parts (part number specified in Table 1).

CAUTION/IMPORTANT
Use only valves with a suitable length and diameter. See technical specification table (Table 1). Do not modify the valve bore.
Periodically check the tubeless valve’s tightness, then check the entire system. It is recommended that the valve be replaced at least once per year.

INSTALLING THE TUBELESS VALVE
Remove the lock nut (Fig. 1 – A) that’s screwed onto the exterior valve threads. Insert the valve into the valve bore on the rim.

Screw the previously removed locknut (fig. 1 – A) back onto the valve, so that the valve is held in place relative to the rim.

TIRES

CAUTION/IMPORTANT
RIM/TIRE COMPATIBILITY
Reparto Corse rims observe the dimensional requirements defined by ETRTO. Table 3 shows the rim/tire compatibility defined by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization.
If the tire is too easy to fit on the rim, this indicates that the tire may be too big and therefore will not fit properly on the rim.
If it is difficult to mount the tire on the rime, this indicates that the rim may be too small.
Only use high-quality tires that require the use of tire levers.
Mounting the tire should require reasonable effort. Adding talcum powder to the tire will make it easier.

WARNING/SAFETY RULE
The use of a tire that does not adhere properly to the rim can lead to sudden tire failure, resulting in serious accidents.

TUBELESS READY TIRE COMPATIBILITY CHECK
The wheels are manufactured in accordance with ETRTO dimensional standards. Tubeless Ready tires are recommended.

CAUTION/IMPORTANT
The functionality of the Tubeless Ready System is dependent on the tires and sealant. There is no warranty for the functionality of this system. The Manufacturer is therefore held harmless from any liability arising and/or resulting from the functionality of the Tubeless Ready System and its compatibility with the Wheels.

CAUTION/IMPORTANT
If tubeless ready tires are installed, it is necessary to use anti-puncture sealants.
Danger of rim damage if unsuitable sealant is used.
Never use sealant containing alkaline substances (ammonia, sodium hydroxide).

WARNING/SAFETY RULE
Always check the condition of the tire to ensure that the tire isn’t damaged. A damaged tire could suddenly burst.

TUBELESS READY TIRE MOUNTING PROCEDURE
It is recommended to strictly follow the instructions provided by the tubeless tire manufacturer, as well as the following general directions.

• Make sure the Tubeless Ready tape and the Reparto Corse Tubeless valve are installed.
• Check the rim and, more specifically, the tire seat for any foreign objects.
• Follow the tire’s rotational direction.
• Insert the first of the two tire beads into the rim groove.
• Insert the second tire bead, starting from the valve bore area.
• We recommend using soapy water, mounting fluid, or talcum powder to decrease friction between the tire and the rim during mounting.
• Make sure the valve is fully open.
• Inflate the tire without exceeding the maximum pressure indicated on the tire by using a compressor so that the tire bead sits on the edge of the rim.
• Carefully check that the tire beads are evenly seated on the rim all the way around the circumference of the wheel.
• Deflate the tire by pressing on the top of the valve and prepare tire sealant according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Raise the wheel, holding it upright with the valve at its highest point.
• If it is possible to insert the sealant with a syringe, remove the valve core using a suitable tool, insert the amount of sealant recommended by the manufacturer, and reinstall the valve core.
• If no syringe is available, release the bead on one side of the tire, pour in the sealant, adding the amount recommended by the sealant manufacturer, and reinstall the bead in the center channel of the rim.
• Re-inflate the tire without exceeding the maximum pressure indicated on the tire and carefully check that the tire beads are evenly seated on the rim all the way around the circumference of the wheel.
• Rotate and shake the wheel so that the sealant can seal the interior surface. Apply soap and water to the tire to check for bubbles, which indicate an air leak. Position the wheel so that sealant flows into the leak and stops it.

TUBELESS READY TIRE DISMOUNTING PROCEDURE
It is recommended to strictly follow the instructions provided by the tubeless tire manufacturer, as well as the following general directions.

• Deflate the tire.
• Beginning on the side opposite the valve, push one side of the tire with your hands until the bead is disengaged from its seat and drops into the rim groove. Continue around the entire circumference of the wheel.
• Starting at the valve, pull the tire with your hands until it comes off the rim. Then continue around the entire circumference of the wheel.
• Do the same on the other side of the tire.
• Completely remove one side of the tire before proceeding to the other side.
• Remove the tire.

TIRE MOUNTING PROCEDURE WITH INNER TUBE

• Before installing the inner tube, make sure that the Manufacturer’s Tubeless Ready sealing tape is not worn or damaged. If this is the case, you must first replace the sealing tape (see instructions for replacing sealing tape), and only after the sealing tape is replaced can you proceed with installing the inner tube.
• Install the inner tube and tire according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the general instructions given in the previous section “TUBELESS READY TIRE MOUNTING PROCEDURE” steps 2 through 5.
• After the inner tube and tire are mounted on the Wheel, insert the inner tube valve into the valve bore. Lift and flex the second tire bead toward the first one for easier insertion without the risk of pinching the inner tube.
• Insert the valve into the valve bore, and then release the second tire bead by lifting it over the newly inserted inner tube.
• Mount the inner tube and tire according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or alternatively follow the steps in the previous section “TUBELESS READY TIRES MOUNTING PROCEDURE” steps 5 through 9.
• Once the tire is inflated to pressure, you can use the anti-vibration adhesive that’s supplied with the Wheel (part number specified in Tab.1) on the tube valve.
• Remove the coating from the adhesive.
• Insert the valve into the adhesive’s center hole and lower the adhesive to the rim along the length of the valve.
• Fix the adhesive in place, straddling the rim.

MOUNTING THE WHEEL ON THE FRAME

Refer to the mounting instructions provided by the bicycle, frame, or fork manufacturer

WARNING/SAFETY RULE
