2. Check the tyre pressure:
Determine your tyre type
Mountain bikes can be fitted with rac-
ing bike type tyres and racing bikes with
trekking tyres.
Rule of thumb:
Mountain bike tyres: Tyre width greater
than 40 mm
Trekking / Cross-country and Fitness bike
tires: Tyre width from 28 mm – 40 mm
Racing bike style tyres: Tyre width less
than 28 mm
Consult your dealer to determine your
tyre type.
Pressures:
S
Mountain bike tyres: 2.0 – 3.5 bar
S
Trekking bike tyres: 3.5 – 5.0 bar
S Racing bike tyres 6.0 – 10.0 bar

Too low a tyre pressure leads to in-
creased likelihood of punctures but
mostly dangerous handling. The tyre can
come off the rim on bends and cause
wandering of the tyre on the rim. This
can lead to hazardous riding situations,
falling, accidents and material damage.
Inflate your tyres to the correct pres-
sure.
Many tyre pressures are given in “psi”.
Convert the pressure using the follow-
ing table.
psi 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140
bar 2,1 2,8 3,5 4,1 4,8 5,5 6,2 6,9 7,6 8,3 9,0 9,7
The actual permissible tyre pressure can be found
in the tyre and rim manufacturer’s instructions. The
permissible tyre pressure is mostly embossed on
the tyre wall. Please consult your dealer.
The higher your body weight the higher
the tyre pressure needs to be.
Check the tyre pressure with a tyre pressure
gauge. Simple gauges are often included with bicy-
cle tubes and higher quality gauges are available
from your dealer. How to use them is either in the
instructions for used or you can have your dealer
demonstrate this.
If pressure is too low: Increase the pressure by in-
flating with a suitable pump.
If pressure is too high: Release sufficient air via
the valve and check the pressure again afterwards
with a gauge.
Using a bicycle pump with a pres-
sure gauge you can check the pressure
whilst inflating the tyre. Let some air out
of the tyre first and then increase the
pressure to the desired level.
