MAINTENANCE & RE
PAIR
Tire Inspection
Tires must be maintained properly to ensure road holding and stability. Check the following areas:
Inflation:
Ensure tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire. Improper inflation is the biggest
cause of tire failure. Due to the slightly porous nature of bicycle inner tubes, it is normal for your tires to lose
pressure over time. For this reason, it is critically important to maintain the proper tire inflation on
your bike.
Caution: Use a hand or foot pump to inflate tires. NEVER inflate tires with an air
compressor at a gas station. This can cause the tubes to over inflate and blowout.
Bead
Seating:
When inflating or refitting the tire, make sure that the bead is properly seated in the rim.
Tread:
Check that the tread shows no signs of excessive wear or flat spots, and that there are no cuts or other damage.
Caution: Excessively worn or damaged tires should be replaced.
Valves:
Make sure valve caps are fitted and that valves are free from dirt. A slow leak caused by the entry of the dirt can
lead to a flat tire, and possibly a dangerous situation.
Recommended Tire pressures:
The recommended pressure molded on the sidewall of your bicycle tires should match the following chart.
Use this as a general guide.
