Here are few tips before we do ride.
1. Air pressure check ~45- 50 Psi.
2. Breaks check, Take a small ride and adjust the breaks accordingly.
3. Chain check, Make sure chain threads are lubricated.
4. Gear shifters are smooth and they're not skipping. If the gear are skipping they need some adjustment or replacement.
5. Check for quick release of the saddle and wheels are tightly fit towards frame.
Now the basic check for bike is done. Have a safe and fun ride.
It should be 45-50 psi not Pa. 45 Pa will be close to the pressure of vacuum u can get on earth! Atmospheric pressure is itself 101325 Pa.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, even the 45-50 psi is only for MTBs. Hybrids need 50-80 psi and road bikes need ~100 psi. Best would be to fill in the range that should be mentioned on the tyre itself.
Ride safe.
