TIRES AND TUBES

Tires
Bicycle tires are available in many designs and specifications, ranging from general purpose designs to tires
designed to perform best under very specific weather or terrain conditions. Your bicycle has been equipped with
tires which the bike's manufacturer felt were the best balance of performance and value for the use for which
the bike was intended. If, once gained experience with your new bike, you feel that a different tire might better
suit your riding needs, your local bicycle specialist can help you select the most appropriate design.
The size, pressure rating, and on some high performance tires the specific recommended use, are marked on
the sidewall of the tire. The part of this information which is most important to you is Tire Pressure.
WARNING
Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure
marked on the tire's sidewall. Exceeding the
recommended maximum pressure may blow the tire
off the rim, which could cause damage to the bike
and injury to the rider and bystanders. The best way
to inflate a bicycle tire to the correct pressure is with
a bicycle pump. Your local bicycle specialist can
help you select an appropriate pump.

HOW THINGS WORK
CAUTION
Gas station air hoses move a large volume of air
very rapidly, and will raise the pressure in your tire
very rapidly. To avoid overflation when using a
gas station air hose, put air into your tire in short,
spaced bursts.
