As the temperature drops, you need to make small adjustments to your bike to ensure you have a great ride, every ride. Do you know how to get your wheels ready for the cold?
Your tyres are the sole connection between you and the trail, underscoring their critical role. Whether navigating cold or wet terrains, maximising surface area is key for improved control and comfort over obstacles. While tyre tread is crucial, optimal tyre pressure is the secret to achieving the perfect setup. Lower pressure enhances grip and surface contact, but excessively low pressure can lead to tyre burping and punctures.
Cold air forces air to contract, and your tyres to deflate. In short, when the temperature drops, so does your tyre pressure. Be sure to check your pressure before every ride, especially in the cold. It could keep you rubber side up.
We want you to get the most out of your tyres this winter season. Whether you ride in wet muddy conditions, or dry cold conditions, having the right tyre choice, tread, width, sealant and pressure is crucial. Come in for a free tyre assessment and we’ll transform your riding this winter season.
