Inflating your bicycle tire with the right pressure can help improve the performance of your bicycle. If you have over inflated your bicycle tire, it can cause biking mishaps especially when you are driving way too fast.

When it comes to bicycle tire inflation, there are a couple of things you need to consider. Spare this time to edify yourself on the right way of inflating your bike's tires.

Step 1: Make sure that when you are inflating your tire, the valve is located below, close to the ground. The tire pump should fit the valve exactly to effectively infuse air. If you are using an ordinary tire pump and you have different type of valve such as a Presta Valve which usually has a smaller top, you may need to find a tire pump that fits it better.

Step 2: Once you have purchased the right pump, check the tire's manual for recommended PSI or pounds per square inch. If you don't have the manual with you, you can check the side walls of the tire for its recommended PSI.

Step 3: Detach the plastic cap that protects the valve. In some types of valve, you will need to twist the top to remove it. After doing so, attach the air gauge pressure to the valve. Inflate it to the recommended PSI.

Step 4: Give the bicycle a little bounce to find out if it is already firm enough. If it does not have the right firmness feel to it, you can continue adding air until you have filled it up to the desired level. Just put an allowance of plus 5 PSI to the recommended PSI level so you are not over inflating the tire.

Step 5: Put the plastic cap back on the valve or twist the cap back on the Presta Valve.

The recommended PSI should serve as your guide. If it says it recommends 44 PSI, you can go until 49 PSI. Over 50 could mean that you have over inflated the tire already.

Some people prefer inflating their tires on a lower PSI level. This provides them better grip especially when they are treading on rocky or bumpy areas. If you treading on pavements, the normal recommended level is better as it gives you smoother biking experience.

Make sure you remember these steps and these bits of tips in inflating your bicycle tire to have smooth biking journey ahead.

Dealing With Tpms and Custom Wheels

The automotive industry has developed numerous ways to keep you safe on the road.  Air bags, check engine lights, SRS lights and GPS units all offer benefits for drivers.  One of the most recent (and annoying) developments is that of the TPMS sensor.  TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System; this system is designed to monitor your tire pressure while driving and alert you when a tire drops a specific amount below OEM specifications.  In theory, this is a great aid for consumers, especially those who cannot or will not check their own tire pressure periodically.

However, the TPMS senor can be a pain if you intend to add custom wheels to your ride. Why is this, you ask?  The TPMS system relies on a sensor, which is unfortunately mounted inside your wheels.  That means that if you replace your wheels, you will no longer have the sensor. Can you live without it?  You most certainly can, especially if you go out and buy a tire pressure gauge and test your tires yourself.  However, the TPMS light will remain on in your dash, causing annoyance.  If you can live with the light remaining on all the time, there's nothing to worry about.  If you can't, you can do a few things.

The best option is to purchase custom wheels that are manufactured for your exact make and model.  You will find that many of these include a mounting location for your TPMS sensor, which means you can just swap the sensor over to the new wheels and get back on the road.  However, wheel with included sensor mounting locations are going to cost you a bit more than a standard wheel, so be prepared to shell out some cash.

Some aftermarket wheel manufacturers have risen to the challenge, though.  You'll find several products on the market to help you fit your OEM TPMS sensor into your aftermarket wheels.  These are an affordable alternative to shelling out additional cash for an exact match and give you a much wider range of options.  There are straps that can be used to hold the sensor in the wheel on certain makes and models.  Many manufacturers use a valve stem/sensor combination that can be transferred with a special cap available through some aftermarket manufacturers.  Regardless, there are ways around the annoyance of TPMS, without having to shell out major cash for it.

One last option is to purchase OEM wheels.  Surprisingly, many automakers have their own lines of custom wheels that match the TPMS system perfectly.  The drawback to this method is that you have very little choice in size, color, wheel design and finish.  You will also pay through the nose for the privilege of owning manufacturer-crafted wheels.  Everyone has been hit with sticker shock at the dealer for even the smallest OEM item; custom wheels take that shock value to an entirely new level.  So, to sum up, the best option is to find an aftermarket wheel that comes with a TPMS mounting system that can be used on your car, rather than one designed to hold the OEM TPMS sensor exactly the same as the original.
