ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURE
There are many considerations and factors as to how much pressure you should put inside your bike
tires. For instance, the rider’s weight can come into play because a rider with lighter weight requires a
different amount of tire pressure to keep them balanced. A heavier rider needs to ride on a bike with
much more pressure on the tires. The wheel size is also important to know about when filling up your
tires. Adjust the bike tire pressure so that you'll be somehow safe from accidents like blowouts.
Our body weight is naturally pushed toward the rear tire when we’re on the bike. This is because while
we ride, 40% of our body weight is distributed toward the front tire, and 60% is toward the rear tire.
That’s why the rear tire has to bear partially more weight than the front tire. To carry the extra weight,
you need to fill the back tire up with more air pressure than the front one. That being said, the back
tire’s PSI will be slightly higher. Although the difference might be very little like 2-3 PSI, that’s what
makes the tire perform better. For example, if your rear tire pressure is 24PSI, then you’ll need to set
the front pressure as 21/22PSI.
