sdc Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Don't use silicon, just plenty of tyre soap on a perfectly clean rim - simple as that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to clean everything with alcohol and use soapy water. I always pump my tires up to about 30 psi after a Trial, for storage, and I've never had any leakage problems on my 02' Pro.

Well, technically it is at the Sherco website. http://www.sherco.com/ hover over the "support" tab and click on "Wayne's Help" Many topics there. more specifically the rim tape one is http://www.sherco.com/wayne/Rim%20Band%20R...nt%20Manual.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I agree with these guys, clean the area spotlessly and fit with lots of soapy water. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 And my goodness you do have to be patient and stick at it. It also helps if you can fit and remove your own tyres, as it often takes more than one attempt to get them on perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are "one piece" and have the valve stem as part of the strap itself, the GasGas part number is BT551502808 . Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
