70 OWNER’S MANUAL
TAKE CARE
When using compressed air, over ination can burst the
tube and tyre. Never inate a tyre beyond the maximum
pressure marked on the sidewall of the tyre.
NOTE: If the tyre pressure on your tyres is not in kilopascals please refer to the conversion table on Page 92.
Tyre pressure is given either as maximum
pressure or as a pressure range. How a tyre
performs under different terrain or weather
conditions depends largely on tyre pressure.
Inating the tyre to near its maximum
recommended pressure gives the lowest
rolling resistance; but also produces the
harshest ride. High pressures work best on
smooth, dry pavement.
Very low pressures, at the bottom of the
recommended pressure range, give the best
performance on loose or muddy surfaces.
Riding with your tyres underinated can cause
a puncture, the tyre deforms and pinches the
inner tube between the rim and the riding
surface. Cornering with underinated tyres
can cause the tyre to roll off the rim resulting
in a fall.
