FAQs

What is the recommended tyre pressure?

The recommended PSI is printed on the tyre sidewall. It varies based on tyre size (e.g., 700 x 24mm: 100-115 psi, 700 x 28mm: 75-95 psi, etc.). Adjust based on rider weight and road conditions.

How often should I check my tyre pressure?

Check your tyre pressure before every ride.

How do I repair a puncture?

Use a puncture repair kit to patch the inner tube or replace the inner tube with a new one.

What is the lifespan of the Turbo Pro T5?

The lifespan depends on riding conditions, tyre pressure, and riding style. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential for maximizing the tyre's life.

Can I use the Turbo Pro T5 with tubeless rims?

No, the Turbo Pro T5 is a clincher tyre and requires an inner tube. It is not designed for tubeless rims.

How do I clean my tyres?

Use mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, which can damage the tyre.

What type of inner tube should I use?

Use a standard road bike inner tube that is the correct size for your tyre.

What is the difference between the Turbo Pro and the S-Works Turbo?

The Turbo Pro utilizes similar technologies to the S-Works version, but the S-Works generally uses premium materials and construction, resulting in potentially higher performance.

Troubleshooting

Tyre loses pressure overnight.

Check for punctures by visually inspecting the tyre and inner tube. Submerge the inflated tube in water to find leaks. Replace or repair the tube as needed.

Tyre feels sluggish or slow.

Check and adjust tyre pressure to the recommended PSI. Ensure the tyre is properly seated on the rim. Check for any rubbing against the frame or brakes.

Difficulty installing the tyre.

Ensure you are using the correct tyre size for your rim. Use tyre levers carefully to avoid pinching the inner tube. Lubricate the tyre bead with soapy water for easier mounting.

Lightweight design for improved acceleration and climbing performance.
Effective puncture protection with BlackBelt technology.
Easy to install and maintain with a clincher design and inner tubes.
Available in multiple sizes to fit various road bike frames.

Cons

Requires proper inflation to maintain optimal performance and prevent premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Turbo Pro T5 is compatible with standard road bike rims designed for clincher tyres and inner tubes.
Installation:

Ensure the tyre size matches your rim size (e.g., 700 x 25c, 700 x 28c).
Carefully mount the tyre onto the rim, using tyre levers if necessary, without pinching the inner tube.
Inflate the inner tube to the recommended PSI range printed on the tyre sidewall. Use a reliable pressure gauge.

Inflation: Maintain proper tyre pressure. Recommended PSI varies based on tyre size and rider weight (see specifications in product description). Check the pressure before each ride.
Care: Regularly inspect the tyre for cuts, embedded debris, or unusual wear. Remove any debris to prevent punctures. Store the tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Regularly clean the tyres with mild soap and water.
