Q: So - What is the purpose of a rim nut?

A: Bear in mind that unlike this Continental tube, some inner tubes don't have a rum nut - that's why we posed the question
The rim nut secures the valve into the rim

Your bike can be ridden perfectly safely without a rim nut

It comes in useful when installing a tyre or attaching a pump - as it helps stop the valve being pushed inside the rim With some rims there may be a rattle/noise if the valve is not fixed - that is why often valves without a rim nut are coated in rubber

The rim nut should only be tightened by hand. Don't tighten the it with pliers, as this could damage your inner tube

Q: What is the valve cap for?

The valve cap supplied with the Schwalbe inner tubes should be used

This is especially important with Schrader / car type valves (we know it's against the rules of cycling for roadies to use valves!)

It prevents dirt / water and chemicals from getting inside the valve and causing corrosion and damage - meaning the valve / tube will last longer

Bicycle compatiblity includes:

• Brompton folding bikes
• Dahon curve 16" folding bike
• Mezzo D10 16" folding bike
• and many more - in fact send us a message if you know one we are missing!

Fitting of the tyre / inner tube:

We recommend against using tyre levers when installing a tyre and tube, as it can cause damage to the tyre / inner tube or both. It may seem difficult or even impossible at first - but it is just technique, practice and patience
