12. Wheelsandtyres
Thewheels aresubjecttoagreatdealofstrain
due to the uneven characteristics of the ground
andtheweightoftherider.
• Aftertherst200kilometres,thewheelsmust
be checked by a specialist and re-centred if
necessary.
• The tension of the spokes must be checked at
regular intervals. Loose or damaged spokes
mustheretightenedor replaced by aFLYER
specialistretailer.
12.1 Tyresandinnertubes
Tyres,likemanyotherparts,aresubject
to wear and tear. Check the prole
depth, tyre pressure and state of the lat-
eral tyre surfaces at regular intervals
and take note of signs of brittleness or
wear
.
Do not exceed the maximum tyre pres-
sure
 recommended when inating the
tyres.
Otherwise this could lead to a tyre ex-
ploding.
The tyres
must be
pumped up with at
leastthestatedminimumtyrepressure.
The tyre might detach from the rim if the
tyrepressureistoolow.
The values for the permitted maximum
and minimum pressure are imprinted on
thelateraltyresurface.
Tyres may only be replaced with identi
-
cal,
originaltyres.Thebicycle’shandling
couldotherwisebenegativelyaffected.
Thismayleadtoaccidents.
