6.1.2.3 Checking the air pressure
As a result of low tyre pressure
·
the tyre and inner tube may move on the rim and result in the incorrect positioning of the valves. The
valve base may tear off during the journey and result in a sudden loss of pressure in the tyre.
·
the tyre may come off the rim in curves.
·
the likelihood of a breakdown is increased.
NOTE:
The higher your body weight and the weight of the additional load, the higher the air pressure has to be in
the tyre.
Guideline values can be found in the following table. Please note, however, that these values
are only an approximate guide. If you have any questions, please contact your specialist bicycle
dealer.
Please also pay attention to the minimum and maximum pressure stated on

Inspect your tyres for visible signs of damage, foreign bodies and wear.
·
The tyre rubber must have its original profile over its whole surface.
·
The tyre fabric under the rubber layer must not be visible.
·
There must be no visible blisters or cracks.
Remove any foreign bodies (thorns, small stones, pieces of glass or similar items) by
hand or carefully with a small screwdriver.
Check if air is then leaking out.
If air is leaking out the inner tube has to be renewed. You may replace the inner tube of
the front wheel yourself. The instructions for doing so can be found in section 15.5.1,
Front tyre flat.
If air is escaping from the rear wheel you must not use your EPAC. In this case you
should contact your specialist bicycle dealer.
