Most people do not give a tube the respect that it deserves. It holds air under pressure and in this case we recommend that you frequently check the air in the tube to be at 50 PSI. I SAY AGAIN, KEEP THE TIRES @ 50 P.S.I. All inner tubes will leak air. This is a natural process and cannot be helped. You must check the air in the tube and refill as needed. This is the best way to get every watt of energy to produce a rolling force instead of being used to just push the flattened tire along. The tube deserves a long life and before we send the tube out to you we prefill the tube with air for a minimum of a week to make sure that you are getting what you ordered. You will not get a tube that is DOA like that last two you got from the 'other place'. We have been there and do not want you to go there. Make sure you use a good lubricant when installing the tube and the tire. This can be anything from a soapy solution with some dish soap and water or some Simple Green. Please don't try to install a tire without proper lubrication, you will not like the results. Remove the valve stem and fill the tube several times and let the air all of the way out. This will allow the tube to position itself and not be pinched in the tire (a pinch will guarantee a flat in no time). Install the valve stem, inflate to 50 PSI and check the valve stem for leaks. When you are sure that there are no leaks, install the valve cap. About the only thing left to do now is to take a ride or was it a nap? AND ONE MORE TIME KEEP THE TIRES @ 50 P.S.I. |
