Installation and maintenance tips from your Vespa specialist

To ensure everything goes smoothly during restoration or tire change, here are a few useful tips for you:

• Careful assembly: Since this is a split rim, you should place the tube directly between the two halves. Pay close attention to ensure that the tube is not pinched when joining the rim shells. A little talcum powder on the tube prevents it from sticking or twisting.

• Tighten nuts in a crisscross pattern: To avoid imbalance, you should always tighten the four mounting nuts and the nuts of the rim halves gradually and in a crisscross manner.

• Paint protection for long durability: The silver paint protects the steel against corrosion. To maintain this protection, you should regularly clean the rims of brake dust and occasionally seal them with a good car wax.

• Complete renewal: If you're already treating your Vespa to new rims, it's worth also fitting new tires and fresh tubes to ensure you can ride trouble-free for a long time.
