Wheels and tyres
– Size in inches. If the tyre is described as ‘26 x 2.35’, this means
that the tyre is 2.35” wide when fully inflated and has an inner
diameter of 26”.
With the exception of tubular tyres and UST tyres, rims and tyres
alone are not airtight. An inner tube filled through a valve is used
to keep the air inside the tyre.
1. Check the tyres for cracks and damage caused by foreign
bodies.
2. Check whether the profile of the tyres can be clearly felt.
•
If a tyre shows signs of cracks, is damaged or the profile depth
is insufficient, have the tyre replaced by your specialist dealer.
10.2.1.1 Valve types
All bicycles are fitted with one of the following types of valve
(see Fig. “Valve types” ):
– Standard bicycle valve (Dunlop): held in place with a lock nut,
8.5 mm rim hole, maximum pressure 6 bar.
– Schrader valve: held in place by a metal pin in the valve,
8.5 mm rim hole, maximum pressure 10 bar.
– Presta valve: held in place by a metal pin in the valve, 6.5 mm
rim hole, maximum pressure 15 bar.
All three types of valve include a valve cap to prevent dirt from
getting into the valve.
note: Depending on your valve type, you will require a suitable
air pump and a suitable adaptor.

10.2.1.2 Tyre pressure
WaRninG
Too much pressure can cause the inner tubes to burst or
to bulge out from the rim.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Observe the correct tyre pressure.
• When pumping up your tyres, you should use a pump
with a pressure gauge.
