Check yer ferkin tyre pressures

[jrandom]

From my perspective...

Sorry, I should have been more specific; when I said 'people', I meant 'other than girls'.

I'm going to do it right now!

If you know you bike you can tell when either tyre is down by even a couple of psi.

41 front and rear...

41!!! then again you do ride a whale.

Awesomo...

36 front and 42 rear..I carry a pressure gauge but should more onto it and check more often than I do...will do it this weekend, thanks FrOsTy you have possibly saved my life...

[arj127]

Hmmmm, 23psi front, 21 psi rear, thought it was handling a little funny. Oh well, my bad.

Awesomo...

Make sure you check the tyre pressures on that bmx skiddy

I know full well this is an old chestnut. Pretty darn boring for most of ya.
But Please go check your bike tyre pressures.
Over the past few weeks I've been doing sneaky checks on bike tyre pressures from visitors to my car yard. All bar one had low pressure in at least one of their tyres.
Some were stupid low.
One was actually a rental bike from a reputable south Auckland bike shop.
Humour an old bugger would ya?

SO you are saying you touched peoples bikes without thier permission?

I hardly ever check my pressure,but I prefer low presures so it doesn't concern me.15 psi front and rear is my normal pressure on the XT600...12psi on the DT230 - this is for street use.

Just bought a lil gauge this week............after checking & discovering the pressure was soooooo far out it was almost laughable, ok not almost, it WAS laughable.

I was told the TL's have to be "riden" etc so was thinkin after the first open road ride........."geeez the reviews weren't wrong were they, this thing is a bloody handful"............front 16psi



Note to self: next time I buy another bike make sure its the first thing that is checked before I ride


ps: Good reminder Frosty

And remember to put fuel in your bikes... they won't go without it

And wear pants when you ride. Always wear pants. Always.

Every bike rider should have a foot pump and pressure gauge at home so they can check *and adjust* pressures cold regularly.

You can get this really nice Michelin foot pump for around $35 from supercheap auto, so there is no excuse.

And wear pants when you ride. Always wear pants. Always.

And always turn the fly to the front.

I did my ZZR1100 at 40/42 also, with Avon Azaro's and 40/42 with Avon Storms on the Blackbird.. I'm also super anal about it, but I have been known to forget

My ninja is at 33/36.. just based on what I was told and what the manual says.. I always thought different tyres were different PSIs? I always ask my tyre guy what pressure I should put in them, more often than not they have given me tyre specific PSIs?

Never thought about different PSI in winter though, what's the deal on this? (yes, I skim read, forgive me if it's already answered )

/edit; I have that Michelen foot pump, very good! Quite accurate too as far as I can tell, well worth the cheapo $$ it goes for at Supacheap

I check tyre pressure every ride, especially if it's been a while.
I now have three guages and I'm not happy with any of them.
Anyone know where I can get an angled analogue gauge.
