FAQs

What is the recommended tire pressure?

Refer to the tire sidewall for the recommended pressure range for your tire size. Generally, the 700x24mm tire should be inflated to 100-115 psi, the 700x26mm to 95-115 psi, the 700x28mm to 75-95 psi, and the 700x30mm to 65-90 psi.

What type of inner tube should I use?

Use a standard road bike inner tube that matches your tire size (700c) and tire width (e.g., 23-28mm).

How do I repair a puncture?

Remove the wheel, locate the puncture in the tire, remove the tube, and patch the tube or replace it. Reinstall the tire, making sure the tube isn't pinched.

How often should I replace my tires?

The lifespan of a tire depends on riding conditions and wear. Inspect your tires regularly and replace them when the tread is worn, or if there are cuts or damage.

Are these tires compatible with tubeless setups?

No, these are clincher tires and are not compatible with tubeless setups.

What is the weight of the tires?

The approximate weight is 230g for 700 x 24mm, 250g for 700 x 26mm, 270g for 700 x 28mm, and 290g for 700 x 30mm.

Troubleshooting

Tire goes flat frequently.

Check for punctures. Replace the tube and thoroughly inspect the tire casing for any sharp objects that may be causing the flats. Consider using tire levers to safely remove the tire from the rim.

Poor grip in wet conditions.

Ensure correct tire pressure, as under-inflation can reduce grip. Check for wear and replace the tire if the tread is worn.
