PART 1
4.G Tires and Tubes
Section 4. Tech
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
CAUTION
Pencil type automotive tire gauges can be
inaccurate and should not be relied upon
for consistent, accurate pressure readings.
Instead, use a high quality dial gauge.
Ask your dealer to recommend the best tire
pressure for the kind of riding you will most
often do, and have the dealer inflate your
tires to that pressure. Then, check inflation
as described in SECTION 1.C so you’ll know
how correctly inflated tires should look and
feel when you don’t have access to a gauge.
Some tires may need to be brought up to
pressure every week or two. So, it is
important to check your tire pressures before
every ride.
Some special high-performance tires have
unidirectional treads: their tread pattern is
designed to work better in one direction than
in the other. The sidewall marking of a
unidirectional tire will have an arrow showing
the correct rotation direction. If your bike has
unidirectional tires, be sure that they are
mounted to rotate in the correct direction.
2. Tire Valves
There are primarily two kinds of bicycle tube
valves: The Schrader Valve and the Presta
Valve. The bicycle pump you use must have
the fitting appropriate to the valve stems on
your bicycle.
The Schrader valve (fig. 18) is like the valve
on a car tire. To inflate a Schrader valve tire,
remove the valve cap and clamp the pump
fitting onto the end of the valve stem. To let
air out of a Schrader valve, depress the pin in
the end of the valve stem with the end of a
key or other appropriate object.
The Presta valve (fig. 18) has a narrower
diameter and is only found on bicycle tires.
To inflate a Presta valve tire using a Presta
headed bicycle pump, remove the valve cap;
unscrew (counterclockwise) the valve stem
lock nut; and push down on the valve stem to
free it up. Then push the pump head on to
the valve head, and inflate. To inflate a Presta
valve with a Schrader pump fitting, you’ll
need a Presta adapter (available at your bike
shop) which screws on to the valve stem
once you’ve freed up the valve. The adapter
fits into the Schrader pump fitting. Close
the valve after inflation. To let air out of a
Presta valve, open up the valve stem lock nut
and depress the valve stem.
