The design of Trial tires makes them tricky to mount . You run the risk of breaking bead wires if you press too hard .

Carefully adhere to the f itting instructions for insertion of the rim hooks ( lubricate , f irmly hold the bead on the opposite

side in the rim hollow - do not exert excessive force on the bead ) .

To inf late , position a rubber ring between the tire bead and rim or use a f irmly tightened strap on the tire crown to enable

initial pressurizing .
