Maintenance of Pneumatic Tires
- We recommend that you always carry an air pump and tire repair kit for emergencies. As an alternative,
consider keeping a spray can of hardening foam (available at bicycle shops) to fill your tire in case of
punctures.
- If a tire goes flat, use the appropriate tools to carefully remove the tire from the rim.
- Be sure not to damage the rim and the tube.
- Repair the tube according to the directions in the repair kit, or replace the old tube with a new one.
- Before re-mounting the tire, inspect the inner rim surface and the inside of the tire for any object that may
have caused the flat.
- To ensure that the brakes continue to work correctly please only use the original rear wheels.
