TUBLISS INSTALLATION
YOU WILL NEED
NEW or previously unmounted Tyre
Drilling machine & 11mm drill bit (7/16″)
Fine Grit Sandpaper or Fine File
Valve Core Remover
Tire Mounting Lubricant
3 Tire Spoons or Levers
14mm Wrench/Spanner
Small Tip Knife
Tyre pump or Air Source capable of 7,5 Bar/100 Psi
Air Gauge with 7,5 Bar/100 Psi Range
Torque Wrench
STEP 1 - CRITICAL STEPS TO SUCCESS
This video is only intended to show how the installation looks when it is done correctly, and we ask that you PLEASE follow the PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS in their entirety when actually performing the installation. Even if you have changed thousands of tires – IT IS CRITICAL to follow EVERY STEP on the printed instructions.
ALSO NOTE that it is important to use a NEW tire, or one that has NOT been previously mounted with stock rim locks as they leave impressions inside the tire’s bead where the TUbliss seals against and will cause leaks.
STEP 2 - DRILL PREP & RIM TAPE

Drill 11mm (7/16″) hole exactly four spokes (either direction) from existing valve stem hole. If your rim has two 8mm holes that are four spokes apart, simply enlarge ONE of these holes to 11mm.
Use fine sandpaper or a fine file to remove any sharp edges from the spoke nipples. Clean the centre of the rim (a wire brush works well for this).
Plug any unused holes & apply ONE full wrap of the rim tape provided. Make sure to overlap the edges where the rim tape meets.
Cut and remove tape covering both valve stem holes.
STEP 3 - REMOVE BLADDER FROM LINER & ADJUST

Thoroughly lube the Red Liner with a Tire Mounting Lubricant to make it easier to install the TUbliss Liner onto the Rim.
Remove the Black Inner Bladder from the Red Liner and also remove the Valve Core.
Align the Rim lock with the 11mm hole and centre the Red Liner on the Rim.
Align the Bladder Valve Stem with the 8mm hole and insert this 8mm Valve Stem into the Red Liner.
STEP 4 - TUBLISS ON RIM

Insert the Rim Lock into the hole and Finger Tighten the Rim Lock until VERY SNUG. Then insert the Black Bladder Valve Stem and thread the Small Knurled Nut Halfway on. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE KNURLED NUT AGAINST THE RIM.
By hand, begin at the Rim Lock and Install the Red Liner in the direction closest to the Black Bladder Valve Stem, until the Black Bladder Valve Stem is tight.
Now using the Tyre Spoons, reach across both Beads with the Tire Spoon and Gently work the Red Liner onto the Rim.
Make sure to push and pinch the Red Liner into the Drop Center of the Rim opposite from where you are prying with the Tyre Spoon.
STEP 5 - PLACE RIM INSIDE TYRE

Stand your Tyre upright against your Legs and hang the Guide Plate onto the Rear Bead of the Tyre.
Hold the Rim with the Rim Lock at the Bottom Position (Opposite where you are holding the Rim with your hand).
Now push down on the Top of the Tyre with your other hand while you push the Rim into the Tyre between the Guide Plate and the Outer Bead of the Tyre.
You can now Pry the Tyre open from side to side using the Tyre Spoon while applying Constant Down-Force on the Top of the Rim until the Rim is completely inside the Tyre.
STEP 6 - MOUNTING THE TYRE

NOTE: The more of the Tire bead that is in the Drop Centre of the Rim, the easier it is to get the Tyre mounted onto the Rim.
Start installing the Tyre opposite the Rim lock while pushing the the Bead of the Tyre into the Drop Centre of the Rim opposite from where you are prying with the Tyre Spoon.
Finish prying the last section of the tyre on to Rim NEXT TO THE RIM LOCK.
Now using the Tyre Spoons, reach across both Beads with the Tire Spoon and Gently work the Red Liner onto the Rim.
Flip the Wheel over and repeat the above mentioned steps once again beginning opposite the Rim Lock.
STEP 7 - LUBRICATION AND INFLATION

NOTE: Saturating the Red Liner with Soapy Water AFTER the Tyre has been mounted is the KEY to an Airtight Seal.
Start next to the Rim Lock and pry the Tyre down while pouring Soapy Water into the Drop Centre of the Rim. Too much Sopay water is better than not enough! Repeat the process every 4 spokes around the entire wheel on both sides.
Bounce the Wheel on the Ground while rotating the wheel to ensure that the Soapy Water completely covers the outside of the Red Liner.
Insert the valve Cores, inflate the Black Inner Bladder to 7,5 bar/100 Psi.
You can now inflate the Tyre through the Valve in the Rim Lock to your desired Pressure.
Replace the Valve caps and tighten the the small knurled Nut back against the Valve Cap. Do not tighten the Knurled Nut against the Rim.
Tighten the Rim Lock Nut to 15 Newton metres/11 Foot pounds
TYRE REMOVAL

NOTE: Be Careful not to grab the Red Liner with the Tyre Spoon when making your first few scoops.
Remove both Valve Cores and Nuts.
Start next to the Rim Lock and Spoon the Tire off.
Flip the Wheel over and repeat the process.
Pull the Rim out of the Tyre while pushing down on the Tyre.
TUBLISS REMOVAL

Start spooning the Red Liner next to the Rim Lock on the opposite side of the Black Bladder Valve Stem.
Carefully reach under both beads with the Tyre spoon while at the same time pinching the Red Liner into the Drop Centre of the Rim opposite from where you are prying. This creates more slack making it much easier to remove.
With a second Tyre Spoon, reach across both beads, taking small bites while working the Red Liner off of the Rim.
