2. Safety Information

• Always ensure the tire is correctly seated on the rim before inflation.
• Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
• Regularly inspect tires for wear, cuts, or punctures. Replace damaged tires immediately.
• Ensure proper tools are used during installation to avoid damage to the tire or rim.

3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for tire performance and safety. If you are unsure about any step, consult a professional bicycle mechanic.

3.1 Required Tools

• Tire levers
• Bicycle pump with pressure gauge
• New inner tube (if applicable)

3.2 Installation Steps

1. Remove Old Tire: Deflate the old tire completely. Use tire levers to carefully pry one bead of the old tire off the rim. Work your way around the rim until one side is free. Then, remove the inner tube (if present) and the other bead of the tire.
2. Inspect Rim: Check the rim tape and rim for any sharp edges or debris that could damage the new inner tube or tire.
3. Install New Tire: Slightly inflate the new inner tube to give it shape. Insert the valve stem through the valve hole in the rim. Carefully seat one bead of the new Deli City Tire S-161 onto the rim.
4. Insert Inner Tube: Tuck the inner tube inside the tire, ensuring it is not twisted or pinched between the tire bead and the rim.
5. Seat Second Bead: Starting opposite the valve, work the second bead of the tire onto the rim. This can be challenging; use tire levers carefully to avoid pinching the inner tube.
6. Check Seating: Before full inflation, ensure both tire beads are evenly seated on the rim. Visually inspect both sides of the tire where it meets the rim.
7. Inflate Tire: Slowly inflate the tire to the recommended pressure range indicated on the tire sidewall. As you inflate, periodically check that the tire beads remain properly seated.

4. Operating Guidelines

The Deli City Tire S-161 is designed for optimal performance on paved surfaces and well-maintained paths. Adhere to the following guidelines for best results:

• Tire Pressure: Maintain the recommended tire pressure. Under-inflation can lead to pinch flats and increased rolling resistance, while over-inflation can reduce grip and ride comfort.
• Riding Conditions: While durable, avoid riding over sharp objects, broken glass, or large potholes that could damage the tire.
• Braking: Ensure your brakes are properly adjusted and maintained. Good tire grip is essential for effective braking.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance extends the life of your Deli City Tire S-161 and ensures safe riding.

• Pressure Checks: Check tire pressure before every ride or at least weekly.
• Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the tire tread and sidewalls for signs of wear, cuts, cracks, or embedded debris. Remove any small stones or glass fragments.
• Cleaning: Clean tires with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade rubber.
• Storage: Store your bicycle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent rubber degradation.
