If underinflated, the low pressure could cause pinch flats. This occurs when
the tube becomes squeezed between the rim and tire casing by hitting a bump with an underinflated wheel. Not only does
this damage the tire, it can also hurt the rim.
Essential for any enthusiastic cyclist, hand pumps are harder work to fill the tire with, and aren’t
as quick. But they’re transportable, so you always have your pump with you. It’s simply foolish to embark on any long distance bike
ride without your trusty hand pump and puncture repair kit. They are easier to pump and attach, and will pump your tires up much
quicker than a hand pump will. Some come with gauges, which eliminate 1) the need to switch back and forth
between a pump and standalone gauge, or 2) if you’re really lazy, outright guesswork. As your child grows they’ll move on through our range of kids’ bike sizes.
When they’re big enough and ready to explore for themselves, why not let them ride alongside mum and dad with our range ofkids’ mountain bikes that are perfect for weekend family rides out on the trails. We believe bikes and cycling are for the whole family, that’s why our cycling range has something huffy mountain bike for everyone from toddlers through to adults. Get your child started on a bike with one of our balance bikes. Help your kids have as much fun as possible out of their first years on two wheels. Look out for bikes that allow you to adjust the seat and the bar so their bike can grow along with them.
However, some expert cyclists are cautious of floor pumps with gauges, as the accuracy of the gauge can svary and may be
off by as much as 10 PSI. On the plus side, if the gauge is consistent you can calculate the difference and adjust your
target PSI to compensate. Every tire has a recommended psi printed on its side close to where it touches the rim. This is usually
written as a range (for instance, “90 to 115 psi”) since there are reasons why you’d want to be on the higher or lower
end, which we’ll get into shortly. Read, highlight, and take notes, across web, tablet, and phone. Because nothing in life is ever as simple as it should be, we’ve included a few more things to ponder when it comes
to making sure everyone’s tires are in good shape for their next ride.

Tires with too
much air lead to too much bounce, making for a jolty ride. Lower pressure helps with shock absorption while also
giving you more traction since more of the tire comes into contact with the ground. MTB manufacturers recommend
between 30 and 50 psi on most of their bikes since this is a nice balance between huffy mountain bike on-road (closer to 50) and off-road
(closer to 30) riding. “How often should I inflate my tires?” is a common question among many casual bikers. The answer depends on how
often and how hard you ride. Some people break out the pump every few days, others once a week, and still others even
less regularly than that.
Plus, flat tires slow you down and make you pedal harder, which is
just no fun. For retail purchases returned with a receipt, please return the unused and unopened item, with the
