Today it was sunny for two hours, this allowed me to ...mow the lawn.
After that I installed the tyres and tubes on the three wheels. First the main wheels, the rims have to be separated and the greasing of the bearings verified. The felt seal has to be greased too.



First some talc is put on the tube and tyre, then the tube is inserted into the tyre, being careful to align the valve with the red dot.



Then the first half of the rim is inserted into the tyre. The most difficult part was to get the valve into the grommet.
The the other part of the rim is bolted on. The tube is inflted and deflated a few times to be sure it seats correctly in the tyre.



For the front wheel, the principle is the same. But, the bearings are not greased and there is a bit less space for the assembly. The two halves of the rim might pinch the tube during assembly.



Here is how I did it, the clamps allow the tyre to be squeezed to be level with the first half of the rim. The tube is the put out of the way and the second rim-half installed.



As with the main wheels, the tube gets inflated and deflated a few times. Then the wheel is inserted in the fork. The bolt is quite loose as the brackets for the wheel pants have still to be installed.
