Changing Tubes and Tires
Please refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with your skates
for other important mechanical, safety, and user information.
Crosskate tires are changed similarly to bicycle tires.
Tools needed:
3 Plastic tire levers
Removing tubes and tires
It is not necessary to remove the wheels from the skates.
Step 1: Deflate the tire if it is not already deflated.
Step 2: Using 3 plastic tire levers, pry the tire bead over the edge of the
rim that faces away from the frame. Once 1/3 of the bead is pulled over
the edge of the rim, slide a lever around the bead to free it from the rim.
Step 3: Pull the other bead over
the same side of the rim. You may
need to pull the tube out first.
Use care to ensure that the tube
does not get pinched between the
tire and the rim.
Installing tubes and tires
Step 1: Remove the valve cap.
Place the tube inside the tire, and
inflate slightly. The valve stem should face away from the frame, and the
tread pattern should be oriented the same as the other tires.
Step 2: Place valve stem through the rim. Replace the valve cap. Use
your hands to pry the inside tire bead onto the wheel.
Step 3: Push tube inside the wheel making sure that it is not twisted or
bunched up.
Step 4: Place outer bead 1/3 of the way around the rim, and then pry the
rest of the bead into place, ensuring that the tube is not pinched between
the tire and the rim.
Step 5: Twist the tire and tube on rim until the valve stem sits straight.
Pump up to minimum 40psi.
Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for
the full Crosskate Limited Warranty.
