How much to pump into the wheels? This is a question that many cyclists ask themselves, and not only beginners. And for good reason. After all, the pressure in the wheel is of great importance. If you overpump the wheels, the bike will lose traction, have poor shock absorption, and even roll poorly if the surface is uneven. But if the pressure of the bicycle wheels is too low, the bike will have poor rolling on a flat surface, there will be a risk of not only tearing off the tire on a turn, but also hitting the rim, simultaneously getting a “snake bite” of the tube or ruining the tubeless tire. The pressure in the wheels of a bicycle is a very compromise value. In any case, you will have to test and look for the optimal wheel pressure for your riding style and surface. But the pressure in the wheels depends not only on these factors, but also on the tire itself, the width of the rim, and even on your fit. In this video about how to choose the right pressure in the wheels of a bicycle, we tried to tell you about some of the nuances and life hacks for pumping up the wheels of a bike. General, very approximate (!) information on the minimum pressure in bicycle wheels, depends on the rim width, manufacturer, and load distribution on the wheels. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
