G. Tires and Tubes
1. Tires
Bicycle tires are available in many designs and specifications, ranging from general-purpose designs to tires designed to
perform best under very specific weather or terrain conditions. If, once you’ve gained experience with your new bike, you feel that
a different tire might better suit your riding needs, your dealer can help you select the most appropriate design.
The size, pressure rating, and on some high-performance tires the specific recommended use, are marked on the sidewall of
the tire (see fig. 17). The part of this information which is most important to you is Tire Pressure.
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 bystanders.
The best and safest way to inflate a bicycle tire to the correct pressure is
with a bicycle pump which has a built-in pressure gauge.
WARNING: There is a safety risk in using gas station air hoses or
other air compressors. They are not made for bicycle tires. They
move a large volume of air very rapidly, and will raise the pressure in
your tire very rapidly, which could cause the tube to explode.
Tire pressure is given either as maximum pressure or as a pressure range.
How a tire performs under different terrain or weather conditions depends
largely on tire pressure. Inflating the tire 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 smooth, slick terrain
such as hard-packed clay, and on deep, loose surfaces such as deep, dry sand.
Tire pressure that is too low for your weight and the riding conditions can cause a puncture of the tube by allowing the tire to
deform sufficiently to pinch the inner tube between the rim and the riding surface.
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.
