RAPID RED 5 E-RACING 4
and original equipment bike wheels (custom colors)
RACING 400 DB RACING 500 DB RACING 600 DB RACING 700 DB RACING 800 DB
RACING 900 DB RAPID RED 300 RAPID RED 500 RAPID RED 900 AIRBEAT 400 DB
AIRBEAT 550 DB E-RACING 400 E-RACING 900
can be converted into 2-Way Fit™ Ready.
This procedure transforms wheels (designed to be used with a clincher tyre and inner tube) into Tubeless Ready wheels (i.e. with a Tubeless Easy tyre, no inner tube and
compulsory use of a sealant liquid).
S
For tire width “S” refer to tire labelling (ex. 25-622)
For rim inner width “A” refer to rim labelling (ex. 622x 19)
ROAD / GRAVEL
This conversion is permitted only with the following components and tires:
1 Fulcrum tape of the correct width, in accordance with the width of the rim (see table on page 2)
Tubeless or tubeless-ready tyres which - depending on the rim of the wheels in your possession - comply with the Rim-Tyre-Pressure compatibility
2 table on page 3
3 Sealing liquid Schwalbe Doc Blue (in the quantity recommended by Schwalbe)
4 The Fulcrum tubeless valve (the valve model depends on the height of the rim and is indicated in the following table).

It shall be the end user’s sole and full responsibility to choose - on a case by case basis – an adequate and correct rim-tire-pressure combination, as well as to conduct all verifications
necessary to ascertain the correctness and safety of such combination.
Without prejudice to the above, and in order to ensure optimum rolling resistance, grip and, most importantly, safety, we recommend that the end user, in making his choice, also takes
into consideration the recommended combinations of hooked rim width, tire width and tire pressure indicated in the chart set forth below.
Due to safety reasons, follow the information of the tire manufacturer regarding minimum and maximum rim width to be used but always ensure that the combination is listed as possible
in this table.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE SPECIFIC FITTING PROCEDURE HERE BELOW:
Please note
In the event of a puncture consequently requiring the use of an
inner tube, for the tyre to be correctly mounted you cannot use
a portable mini-pump but must use a CO2 canister.
• Remove the original rim tape from the wheels, if present, using
a screwdriver to separate it from the rim (Fig.1).
ROAD / GRAVEL
• Using a cloth and some isopropyl alcohol, clean and degrease
the wheel rim thoroughly, cleaning along the entire inner well
and the inner walls of the rim, which will be in contact with the
tyre beads (Fig. 2).
IMPORTANT!
A piece of tape must be inserted transverse to the rim to en-
sure the rim is held in place.
• Apply a piece of adhesive tape to the joint on the rim, running

transverse to the channel of the rim (Fig. 3).
Ensure that the tape is also correctly applied to the vertical walls
of the rim.
2 3
• Cut the tape so that the ends extend up to the tooth of the rim,
without going over it (Fig. 4).
A
• Start applying the tape between the second and third spoke
nipples (A - Fig. 5) after the valve hole (X - Fig. 5). Start applying
the tape from A and move towards the valve hole.

• Apply the tape carefully, ensuring that the entire length inclu-
ding the initial part adheres fully to the rim, pressing well with
the fingers or with a plastic tool (Fig. 6). If necessary, cut off the
initial part of the tape if it is not correctly adhered to the rim.
• Gradually unroll the tape, applying it around the circumferen-

ce of the rim. Keep the tape taut and press it into the centre
well, ensuring it is properly centred between the inner walls of
the rim (Fig. 7).
6 7
ROAD / GRAVEL
WARNING!
OK NO!
It is extremely important that the full length of the tape ap-
plied adheres completely to the centre and does not cover
any part of the inner walls of the rim, which will be in con-
tact with the tyre beads. This is to prevent the tyre bead de-
taching from the wheel during inflation or use, which could
cause accidents and lead to severe or even fatal injury (Fig.
8 / Fig. 9).
8 9
• Once the tape has reached the valve hole, continue applying
tape to cover another 2 spoke nipples, then cut with scissors
and adhere perfectly to the overlapped length of tape. (Fig. 10).
• Run your fingers over the tape to press out any air bubbles and
check that the tape is completely adhered to the rim. Using the
tool normally used to demount the tyre, press the edges of the
tape along the bases of the inner side walls of the rim (Fig. 11).
10 11

• Using a cutter, make an X cut on the valve hole without rea-

ching the edge of the hole itself (Fig.12).
WARNING!
Be very careful not to damage the rim surface with the
blade of the cutter in order to conserve the anodization rim
treatment. This prevents oxidation, which can reduce the
life of the rim due to fatigue.
12
• Insert the valve into the hole and, positioning the asymmetri-
ROAD / GRAVEL
cal spacer (where provided) in a suitable position on the rim,
lock it in place using the knurled nut (Fig.13).
• Observe the rotation direction on the tyre (Fig.14).
13 14
• Fit a tyre bead into the central channel of the rim (Fig.15).
• Fit a second tyre bead, starting from the opposite side of the
valve (Fig.16).
15 16

• Dip a brush (diameter approx. 2 cm) in a container of water

and neutral soap, and apply plenty of water to the tyre beads
(Fig.17).
• Check the valve is fully open (Fig.18).
• Inflate the tyre without exceeding the maximum pressure in-

dicated on the tyre, using a compressor or a pump, so the tyre
bead is seated on the edge of the rim.
• Carefully check that the tyre beads are correctly placed on

the rim in a uniform manner along the entire circumference of
the wheel. 17 18
• Deflate the tyre by pressing on the top part of the valve and
prepare the tyre sealant liquid according to the manufacturer’s
ROAD / GRAVEL
instructions.
• Prop up the wheel, holding it in a vertical position with the

valve on the uppermost point (Fig.19).
• If you are able to insert the liquid using a syringe: remove the
central part of the valve using a suitable tool, insert the quantity
of liquid suggested by the manufacturer and reinstall the central
part of the valve (Fig.20).
• If you do not have a syringe, unseat the beads on one side of 19 20
the tyre, pour in the liquid, inserting the quantity suggested by

the liquid manufacturer, and reposition the bead in the central
channel of the rim (Fig. 21).
• Reinflate the tyre without exceeding the maximum pressure

indicated on the tyre and carefully check that the tyre beads are
correctly placed on the rim in a uniform manner along the entire
circumference of the wheel.
DANGER!
Never exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the tyre.
Pressure above this level could cause the wheel to burst
suddenly, causing accidents, physical injury or death. 21 22
• Rotate and shake the wheel so the liquid can seal all its inner surface. Apply water and soap on the cover and check for any bubbles, which would indicate air leaking from the
cover. Position the wheel so that the liquid will flow to the area of the air leak, so the liquid can block it (Fig.22).
