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.
