e*thirteen valves work with all e*thirteen rims. If you are using a rim from another manufacturer please refer to the diagram to check if e*thirteen valves will work for your rims.

Start by choosing the proper rubber base for your rim.

Rims with curved valleys will use the curved base.

Rims with flat valleys will use the flat O-ring base.

Install the base of the valve through the valve hole and ensure that the curvature of the rubber seal matches the curvature of the rim well.

Press firmly.

Install the valve stem.

Tighten the valve to hand tight.

Do not overtighten - this can cause leaking and make the valve impossible to remove on the trail if you get a flat.

The base of the valve includes a hex in the head in case the valve is twisting, a 4mm hex wrench can be used to hold it.

Start by choosing the correct width tape for your rims.

For 23-25mm internal width rims use 25mm wide tape.

For 26-28mm internal width rims use 28mm wide tape.

For 29-30mm internal width rims use 30mm wide tape.

Thoroughly clean your rims with denatured alcohol.

If your rim has been taped before, be sure to remove any pieces of old tape or adhesive.

Make sure the rims are clean and dry before taping.

Begin taping about 10cm from the valve hole; you will cover the valve hole as soon as you start taping.

Press the first 10cm of tape down into the rim valley to make sure it is well attached to the rim.

Now add some tension to the tape - it will stretch slightly to allow for easier application.

Continue taping the rim, keeping the tape tight and making sure it is centered in the rim.

Cover the rim with two layers of tape, stop once you have passed the valve stem for the third time (this means a short area over the valve hole with have three layers of tape).

As you get near the valve hole for the last time, cut the tape so it covers 10cm past the valve hole.

Without stretching the tape, apply it to the rim and press it firmly into the rim valley.

Using your finger or a plastic tire lever, carefully go around the rim pressing the tape down firmly into the tire bead and rim bed to make sure the tape is sticking properly.

Using an awl or other pointy instrument, carefully poke a hole in the tape at the valve hole location.

The hole should be slightly smaller than the valve as the tape will stretch around the valve.

Before installing your tire, double check that your tubeless tape and valve are installed properly, this will save you from potential headaches later

Start by installing one side of the tire onto the rim. Be sure to line those logos up.

Install 80% of the other side of the tire

Pour in tire sealant

Install the rest of the tire.

We recommend not using tire levers as they can damage the tire.

Pump it up and check to make sure the bead has seated all the way around.
