the bead of the tire into the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and
stop frequently to check the tire seating and the pressure, until you
reach the correct inflation pressure.
Tread:Check that the tread shows no signs of excessive wear or flat
spots, and that there are no cuts or other damage.
Caution: Excessively worn or damaged tires should be replaced.
Valves:Make sure valve caps are fitted and that valves are free from
dirt. A slow leak caused by the entry of the dirt can lead to a flat tire,
and possibly a dangerous situation.
5. HOW THE COASTER BRAKE WORKS
The coaster brake is a sealed mechanism which is a part of the
bicycle ’ s rear wheel hub. The brake is activated by reversing the
rotation of the pedal cranks. Start with the pedal cranks in a nearly
horizontal position, with the front pedal in about the 4 o ’ clock
position, and apply downward foot pressure on the pedal that is to
the rear. About 1/8 turn rotation will activate the brake.The more
downward pressure you apply, the more braking force, up to the
point where the rear wheel stops rotating and begins to skid.
