Care & Notes
Check tyre pressure regularly and maintain inflation within the manufacturer's recommended range, taking rider weight and load into consideration. Inspect the tread and sidewalls periodically for cuts, embedded debris and signs of wear. Ensure the tyre is correctly seated on a compatible 700C rim before riding. This is a tube-type clincher tyre and requires a suitable inner tube. Always check frame, fork and mudguard clearance before fitting. Sold individually unless otherwise stated.
