9. OPERATING PRESSURES

Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure marked on the tire’s sidewall. Exceeding the 
recommended maximum pressure may blow the tire off the rim, which could cause damage to the
bike and injury to the rider and bystanders.

If you have more questions please contact your mechanic, authorized dealer/distributor or Reynolds 
directly at 866-798-3040 or email at [email protected].
