Place the Tubeless Ready valve through the rim strip's valve hole and then through the rim. Make sure that the rubber o-ring is on the valve before dropping it into rim (Figure 11). Align the flat sides of the valve base with the walls of the rim (Figure 12 & 13). Tighten the valve nut over the threads of the valve until finger tight. Work the rim strip into the rim, moving away from the valve stem in both directions using only your thumbs. Do not use tools because they can damage the rim strip. O-Ring Rim Strip Figure 12.

A traditional rim strip will need to be installed prior to proceeding with these steps. Inflate the inner tube until it begins to take shape. Insert the valve stem through the hole in the rim. Install the first bead onto the rim (Figure 14). Push the tire and inner tube over until the inner tube is inside the rim (Figure 15). Be careful not to pinch the inner tube between the rim and the tire (Figure 16) when you install the tire. Push the base of the valve stem up into the tire so that it is not caught between a tire bead and the rim (Figure 17). Inflate the tire to 20-30 psi (1. 5-2 atm). Push in the sidewall of the tire slightly and make sure the inner tube is not pinched between the rim hook and the tire bead. Continue all the way around the rim, on both sides. Check for correct tire bead engagement in the rim (Figure 18 and 19).
