Tires are an important part of a bike. Whether it is a bicycle, a car, a motorcycle, or even an airplane, tires play a key role in them. Especially under the conditions of high-intensity use, improper use and lack of maintenance will accelerate wear and tear, and tire aging and tire blowout may occur. Therefore, it is also very important for riders to maintain their bike tires. So, what are the precautions for tire maintenance? The following lists a few suggestions for your reference.
- Reasonable air pressure
Insufficient tire pressure will cause flat tires, and the increased resistance is one of them is that it is hard to ride a bike. At the same time, the increased friction area will make the tire wear more serious. Of course, too much air pressure can also expand the air inside and shorten the life of the tire. Therefore, the inflation can be inflated according to the specified air pressure value of the tire, the highest value can be hit in winter, and lower in summer.
- Tire cleaning
After riding, the tires should be cleaned, and the sundries should be removed and dried with a cloth to prevent grease, hydrocarbons and corrosive substances from sticking to the tires and causing the tires to deteriorate, and also prevent direct sunlight. When not in use for a long time, the tire pressure should be inflated to 70-90psi for road bikes and 30-40psi for mountain bikes.
- Overload
The maximum load capacity of the tire is rarely overloaded on cyclists, but this is undoubtedly one of the factors affecting the life of the tire.
- Refuse to be exposed to the sun
Riders usually cherish expensive bicycles, and they will also avoid exposing their bikes to the sun. If you expose your bike to the hot sun, the tires are also prone to aging.
- Avoid chemicals
Avoid contacting bicycle tires with salt, acid, alkali and oil, especially when adding chain oil to bicycle parts, be careful not to drip on tires, otherwise it will cause tire deterioration and reduce tire life.
- Front and rear tires are swapped
After the tires have been used for a period of time, it is best to swap the front and rear tires (except local tyrants), which can make the tire wear more evenly an
The “out-of-stock tide” brought about by the epidemic has made it difficult to find a bike in the cycling circle. Even if some brands can order a bike, the delivery time varies from a few months to more than half a year. There are many bike fans who can’t wait to turn their attention to […]
Whether you’re a big cyclist or a novice cyclist, who hasn’t made some mistakes on the bike? For example, when the new bike is installed, the vehicle accessories are installed incorrectly, the equipment model is not matched when the accessories are upgraded, the fault judgment is wrong, and there is wasted effort in disassembly and […]
With the full popularity of the disc brake system for road bikes, the road bike market has completely resolved the debate between disc brakes and rim brakes. It can be said that disc brakes have completely taken over the rim brakes. But in road disc brakes, there is another debate, so is it better to […]
Today, most mountain bikes on the market are equipped with front fork shock absorbers, and even many gravel bikes are equipped with micro-travel shock absorbers in order to cope with more complex road conditions. There is enough suspension travel on a bicycle to measure the bumps that the bicycle can absorb, so what kind of […]
