Tape Fitting Instructions

These fitting instructions are for anti-puncture tape which has not been cut to size. If you have purchased tyre and inner tube sets which include anti-puncture tape, the tape will already have been cut to length, the corners rounded, and the tape placed inside the tyres, so you can ignore steps 1 to 6.
If you have purchased “Ready-to-Fit” anti-puncture tape, the tape will already have been cut to length and the corners rounded, so you can ignore steps 1 to 3.

Fitting Anti-Puncture Tape:

1. Tuck the tape inside the tyre
2. Overlap the ends by approx 10-20mm and cut to length (with scissors)
3. Snip the corners of the tape so there are no sharp edges
4. Ensure the tape is sitting central in the tyre
5. Put a couple of pumps of air in the inner tube (just enough to shape it)
6. Put the inner tube inside the tyre so it holds the tape in place
7. Fit one side of the tyre onto the wheel, at the same time insert the valve through the valve hole
8. Push the second side of the tyre over the wheel rim using your thumbs
9. Ensure the tyre in sitting evenly on the wheel rim and inflate to full pressure
