Use an inelastic but flexible narrow strip
or the like to measure the circumference
of the inflated tire (not including the
block patterns). Adjust the tire pressure
to the specified measurement. This
pressure may be above specification to
suit the rider's preference.
Never use a tire pressure below
specification, which may result in the
danger of the tire being dislodged under
severe operating conditions.

1,735mm (68.3 in)
Minimum tire circumference:
1,725mm (67.9 in)
