TUBELESS REPAIR:

For service on the trail to use:

• Michelin tire levers with precaution.

• A Michelin approved anti-puncture sealant for small punctures.

• A tube (Michelin C4) for larger holes.

For repair at home or in the shop use:

• Michelin tire levers with precaution.

• Soapy water or Michelin approved lubricant (not oil or of grease) for the reassembly.

• Utilize a Michelin approved repair kit (Rema Tip Top or Schrader), a flexible rubber patch, vulcanizing adhesive and scraper / sand paper. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: Small punctures from point object like thorns can be repaired with tube type patches. Slightly larger punctures that damage a couple of casing threads require the reinforced patches specific for tubeless tire repair.

Note: the method of finding a leak is made in the same manner as for a tube except that the water container needs to accommodate the tire mounted on the rim.

CAUTION:

The tire is only one of the 3 components which can cause leaks. Indeed the valve and the rim can be the cause.

Leakage of the valve: taking into account the valve type (standard or presta), a leak in the valve can have several origins (joint, base, shaft, etc.). In all cases, don't hesitate to replace it. Rim manufacturers usually have a specific time criteria for valve replacement.

Leak in the rim: it can be caused by a defect or a deformation following a shock, not allowing a tight seal between the rim and the tire bead. It is best to mount the tire on another wheel to test the tire.
