Checking Tire pressure and riding on fresh Tar.

Hello Club,

I consider myself a pretty safe driver who takes care of my ride, but I’m not sure why I don’t check the tires pressure more often.
Its one the most critical things on the bike!
When was the last time you checked?
Be smart check them!!!

FYI about streets that are being repaved!

I came around a blind turn, and they where repaving the road…no big deal at first” Right”
Since I just was riding for an hour and it was hot out I just didn’t think how hot my tires must have been.
It was about a ¼ mile of riding on the fresh new tar.

When I went back to ride the next day the bike was all over the road.
I went right to the bike shop…He asked was I riding the bike on a track all day. “I wish”
What had happen is I super heated my tire riding on the pavement.
The tires where just about toast …He told me inflate to 38 -40 psi…This should and did round out the edges.
But they are still not the same and I’m going to replace the set to be safe.
All I can say is lesson learned. I think…
