Tire Inflation Instructions
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. For this reason it is critically important
to maintain the proper tire inflation on your bike.
1. 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. The tire size and pressure rating are marked on the sidewall of the tire.
CAUTION: Pencil type automotive tire gauges and gas station air hose pressure
settings can be inaccutate and should not be relied upon for consistent, accurate
pressure readings. Instead, use a high quality dial gauge.
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 OTHERS. THE BEST WAY
TO INFLATE A BICYCLE TIRE TO THE CORRECT PRESSURE IS WITH A BICYCLE
PUMP. NEVER USE A SERVICE STATION AIR HOSE TO INFLATE A BICYCLE TIRE. IT
IS DESIGNED FOR LARGER TIRES AND IT CAN EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED
MAXIMUM PRESSURE AND IT MAY BLOW THE TIRE OFF THE RIM.
