    ADVICE FROM TONNIE Before you start cycling, check that the wheels run smoothly and do not creak when you ride. Squeaking noises often indicate a loose spoke or a defective bearing. Contact your Huka dealer if this is the case.

  • Page 23: Tyre Pressure

    Always make sure you inflate the tyres properly. This will prevent wear and tear on the tyres of your Vasco. It is also a more pleasant ride and you can react better to braking and steering movements. The right tyre pressure has been reached when you can still press the tyre just a little with your thumb.
