Danger of personal injury and material damage!
Insufficient tyre pressure can lead to an increase risk of accidents or tyre
damage, and in particular to dangerous handling behaviour. The tyre may come
off the rim in a curve; insufficient pressure also enhances the wandering of the
tyre on the rim. This can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls, accidents
and material damage.
Keep your tyres inflated to the prescribed pressure at all times.
Some tyre pressures are indicated in "psi".
Convert the tyre pressure into bar using the following table.
50 60 70
3.5 4.1 4.8
Refer to the rim or tyre manufacturer's specifications for the admissible tyre
pressure. The admissible tyre pressure is generally shown on the tyre flank.
Please consult your dealer.
The higher your body weight, the higher the tyre inflation pressure has to be.
- Check the tyre pressure using a tyre pressure gauge. Simple gauges
are often supplied with bike tyre inner tubes, higher quality gauges are
available from specialist dealers. For details of use, please refer either
to the instruction manual supplied with the gauge, or consult your local
dealer.
- If the pressure is too low: Increase the inflation pressure using a
suitable pump.
- If the pressure is too high: Release the necessary amount of air via the
valve, then check the inflation pressure again.
A bike pump with pressure gauge allows you to check the inflation pressure
while inflating. First allow a little air to escape from the tyre, then inflate to the
required value.
