THERE IS A TIRE PUMP IN THERE SOMEWHERE
Once a week I find a bike shop to borrow a floor pump to properly
juice up my tires. I don't have many flat tires because I have touring tires,
thick tubes, and Teflon inserts. This adds weight but “Walter” is not a racing bike,
it’s a truck.
I maintain one hundred PSI in the rear tire because of the extra
weight and about ninety in the front. Tires lose a few pounds of pressure over time.
I have a small pump for flats on the road. However it is easier to use a larger
floor pump for higher pressures.
The bike gets sluggish with mushy tires, every
little bit helps when you are logging thousands of miles.
