Disaster prevention

• Buy the proper size of spare tube. Tires come in different widths and diameters.

• Make sure the pump matches your valve, either Presta (pointed) or Schraeder (car-type). Carry an adapter if you have a mis-match.

• Check the recommended tire pressure for your tires - it is usually marked on the sidewalls
