Two Days until the big pedal starts! Are you ready?

Remember that tyres pumped up correctly make it much easier to pedal. So pump them up nice and hard. You will find the pressure range to pump them up to on the tyre sidewall. If you do not have a pump you can buy one at Belhaven Bikes. There is also a pump in the Be Green shop on the West Port. Just ask to borrow it for a minute and your bike will seem like a new machine.

If you have any mechanical questions about your bike, please get in contact with us – Ask Dr. Bike a question.

The pressure range is indicated on the tyre sidewall. Stick to that rating. Usually it will be 35-65 psi for a MTB tyre, up to 75 psi for a hybrid tyre and 90-110 psi for a road bike.
If you don’t know the range ask a bike mechanic.
