Just a friendly reminder to check your tire pressure at least a couple times a month. I just checked it yesterday after about 3 months. I didn't think there was going to be alot of difference, maybe 5 psi off or so, but check it out:

Front needs 33psi.........I measured 21!........12psi difference :o
Rear needs  36psi.........I measured 22!........14psi difference :o

So hopefully my MPG will go up and my handling and riding experience will be better.
Don't delay, Check today!

Roger that thats one thing i did not even think to check when i got my bike. I never thought to check out my tire pressure. :thumb:
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof, is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools....

Thanks to advances in automation, Nike shoes will be made by robots. Unfortunately, the robots will be made by children in Malaysia.

I didn't check when I first got my bike either...  The rear tire didn't even register on the dial :o and the front read about 15 PSI. :nono:  Not to mention my chain tention was WAY THE HELL off...  It had about 3.5" of play.  :nono:

And I rode it like that. :oops:

I check my tire pressure every few rides...  When I first got my new tires, I check it before EVERY ride. :thumb:
