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. - Page 23 BIKE CLASSIFICATION Our Bicycles are manufactured to comply with ISO 4210:2014, this encompasses the following classification of product.
