Atop into a bicycle shop and show em what you need and you are sure to find a light and accurate air pressure gauge that easily fits on the valve.

Just because of that reason, this will be on the bike within weeks. It may seem a bit frivolous, but I would rather see my PSI at a glance than not check my tires because of the hassle.

Yes there are dumb questions, here goes. How do I know what is the proper tire pressure? Have never checked it.

Re:Check Your Tire Pressure!!! 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
There's actually at least 2 answers to that question.

Recommended by factory:
F-38
R-38

then there's your preference based on deviation from the recommended.

I use:

F-37
R-40

Both front and rear run Dunlop 404's and I've had acceptable results. Just my .02 worth....

Someone mentioned a screw and rubber cement in an emergency when you pick up a nail...unfortunately I have the spoke wheels with inner tubes. I don't think there's much you can do with tubes!

I'm someone, I just figured those that have tubes knew that and I didn't have to explain. I haven't come up with a fancy disclaimer tag line yet, so the RSC is fully responsible for all my mis- direction. Your authorized to sue them. ( I think it's i the rules) But they only pay in beer on your 100th post, any you pay the shipping from Canada, to date no one has ever collected. I apologize. You can do like Makcap did and fine some real rims on e bay for cheap and ditch the tubes, then use the screw and rubber cement. Although it's never a recommendation as no one would take the responsibility, and.......the person who rides a bike with that kind of patch is solely responsible for his own actions. If something happens, he or she will be the first to know.

Nice entrance!

OH! BTW tube man, Try Ride on. http://www.ride-on.com/ It is much.

After a screw, I'd rather have a cig and go to sleep. What is the rubber cement for? To hold on the chicken feathers??
