Tyres And Tubes - ISLABIKES Rothan Owner's Manual

Wheels
Rim wear - Routinely check your bicycle rims for any wear. Our bikes have
an indicator line that runs the circumference of the rim. When this becomes
flush with the rest of the rim or disappears it is time to replace the wheel.
For new wheels contact our customer service team on +44 (0)1584 856 881.

Rim trueness - Depending on the type of riding your child does, your
bike's wheels may become untrue or damaged when riding. This means
they will not spin straight and will wobble. If for any reason they are untrue
our wheels can be easily repaired. Please contact our technical support
team on +44 (0)1584 856 881 or email techsupport@islabikes.co.uk.
Hubs - Your hubs are fitted with cup and cone bearings. Although they
are sealed water and grit can enter your hubs and cause premature
wear. To prolong the life and keep them running smooth and efficient. We
recommend annual maintenance and re-greasing of hub bearings.

Tyres and Tubes

Tyre wear - Regularly check tyres for general wear and tear. Overtime
your tyres will become more worn and can become more susceptible
to punctures.
Tyre pressure - Regularly check your Islabike tyre pressure as they
slowly go down over time. To check, simply push your thumb hard onto
the tyre or use a pressure gauge fitted to most quality bicycle track
pumps. If you can touch the rim this probably needs some more air.
You should not exceed the maximum tyre pressure printed on the
sidewall of the tyre. We recommend approx. 70% of the maximum
tyre pressure illustrated on your tyre. To inflate presta valves you
must first open the valve by unscrewing and tapping the valve end
to relieve it if stuck. Inflate to correct pressure and then carefully
re-tighten to close the valve.
