When mounting tubeless tires, check the sealing surface of the tire and the disc wheel for cleanliness and any signs of damage. Bear in mind here that the bead base performs the sealing function on tubeless tires. When mounting the tire beads, use only the specified tire mounting pastes. The following can occur if an unsuitable mounting paste is used:
- Twisting of the tire on the rim.
- Fracture of the bead core during mounting and if the seating pressure is too high.
- Damage to the tire bead.
- Damage to the rim surface by aggressive substances.
