I received a Red Wind bicycle from a customer for service.


I checked the wheel runout and centering, and both were fine with no issues.
I removed the original tires before the work for centering checks,
and after the service I installed new tires instead.
The new ones are Schwalbe Altremo tires,
and there's something you should be careful about when installing Altremo on Campagnolo and Fulcrum wheels.


For example, with Continental Grand Prix 4000S tires,
the manufacturer name and model name are printed on opposite sides,
but the text orientation is aligned with the wheel center pointing downward.
So only the text near the top of the wheel reads correctly upright.


With Schwalbe Altremo tires, the manufacturer and model names are also on opposite sides,
but the text orientation is aligned the same way.
So when "Schwalbe" reads correctly upright,
"Altremo" also reads correctly upright,


and Fulcrum wheel rims are marked the same way,


so when the Schwalbe/Fulcrum text reads correctly upright at the top of the wheel,

the Altremo/Red Wind text also reads correctly upright at the bottom of the wheel.
This doesn't affect performance,
but having the text orientation aligned looks much better, so I recommend doing it this way.
