Tire Inflation Instructions Tires and Tubes After assembling your bike, it will be necessary to inflate the tires. Check the sidewall of the tire for the correct tire pressure (PSI) and inflate tires accordingly with a MANUAL BICYCLE PUMP. Improper inflation is the biggest cause of tire failure. Due to the slightly porous nature of bicycle inner tubes, it is normal for your bike tires to lose pressure over time.
Page 24
Tire pressure is given either as maximum pressure or as a pressure range. How a tire performs under different terrain or weather conditions depends largely on tire pressure. Inflating the tire to near its maximum recommended pressure gives the lowest rolling resistance; but also produces the harshest ride. High pressures work best on smooth, dry pavement.
Maintenance & Repair Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure a longer life for your bike and a safer ride for you. Every time you ride your bike, its condition changes. The more you ride, the more frequently maintenance will be required. We recommend you spend a little time on regular maintenance tasks.
