: Assembly Guide
This stage is now complete. You will be using the wheel in the
next stage, so don’t store it away yet.
Prepare the rear wheel from Stage 22. Look at the photo
above, and the tip box on the right, to see the correct
orientation for both the wheel and the tyre.
When one side of the tyre is properly positioned on the
wheel, turn them around and repeat the process to fit
the other side of the tyre.
Fit the rear wheel into the tyre, lifting the wall of the tyre
over the rim of the wheel and rotating the assembly as
you work.
Rotate the assembly when finished, to check that the
wheel and tyre are properly fitted together.

Unlike the front wheel and tyre, the rear wheel and tyre
have to be fitted the correct way round. The assembly
in the photo above shows the tyre from the front, with
some of the left side of the wheel showing. Ensure that
the tread pattern is correctly orientated when you fit
the tyre to the wheel.
