How to fit road bike tyres?

A simple operation you can carry out yourself, also valid for replacing an inner tube when fixing a puncture.

  • Time: 30 min
  • Level: Easy
  • Tool: Pump

Steps

      1. Fit the first bead of your tyre then the inner tube slightly pre-inflated, starting from the valve. Probikeshop tip: make sure to observe the tyre's rolling direction indicated on the sidewall.
      2. Then fit the 2nd tyre bead starting from the side opposite the valve, taking care not to pinch the inner tube between the tyre and the rim.
      3. Roll the tyre bead from left to right all the way around the tyre so that it sits correctly and check that the inner tube is properly in place.
      4. Inflate your tyre to your desired pressure.

All that remains is to refit the wheel onto the bike.
