TYRE CARE 

To obtain maximum life and full benefit from your tyres, it is essential to maintain the 

recommended pressure indicated on the tyre sidewall.

Unnecessary hard braking and skidding greatly reduces tyre life. Make sure your tyres 

do not come into contact with oil, petrol, paraffin or other rubber solvents.

Make sure that your wheels run true and are in correct alignment to avoid chafing 

the tyre sidewall against the bicycle frame or fork tubes.

Tyres  should  regularly  be  inspected  for  wear  and  cuts.  Check  that  the  tyre  tread         

pattern  is  clearly  showing  all  around  the  outside  edge  of  the  tyre.  Check  there  are 

not any breaks, cuts or uneven wear in the tyre. Tyres should be replaced if damaged.

Tyre punctures can be caused by careless riding over sharp stones, holes in the road, 

or by hitting curbstones

If  you  are  storing  your  bicycle  for  a  long  period  of  time,  it  is  advisable  to  store  the 

machine with the tyres off the ground to prevent them from becoming distorted.

To  inflate  tyres,  a  foot  pump  or  normal  bicycle  inflator  fitted  with  a  suitable  valve          

connector should be used along with an accurate tyre pressure gauge.

Wheels  should  be  checked  regularly  for  spoke  tension.  Perform  this  check  more              

frequently if the bicycle is used on rough roads.

If  a  spoke  breaks,  stop  right  away  and  remove  it  or  twist  it  around  its  neighbours. A   

flapping rear-wheel spoke can snag the derailleur and cause lots more damage.

Presta  valves  may  stick  closed  preventing  your  pump  from  working.  The  solution  is       

simple. Before inflating a tire, unscrew the valve and fully depress it twice, releasing a 

small amount of air. This frees the valve and allows easy inflation.

RAINY WEATHER

Wear bright yellow or orange to be visible to motorists.

Put a visor or cap under your helmet to keep rain out of your eyes.

Install  lightweight  plastic  or  aluminium  fenders  to  keep  dirty  road  water  off  you  and 

your bike.

Keep your frame waxed and your drivetrain well lubricated.

When  you  end  your  rainy  day  ride,  immediately  wipe  your  bike  down  with  a  towel,  the 

lubricate  the  chain  and  use  a  water-dispersing  spray,  such  as  WD-40,  on  all  cables, 

housings, and the pivot points of the brake and gear systems.

LOCKS

U-locks are easy to carry and hard to bust. Lock the frame and both wheels to a fixed 

object and make sure the bike can’t simply be lifted over it.

TEST RIDES

After making the necessary adjustments to your position, minor aches and pains may 

develop  before  your  body  adapts  to  its  new  riding  posture.  resist  the  temptation  to 

keep fiddling for four or five rides.
