Bicycles Asked by English Orchard - Haze on December 12, 2020
I have just bought new all terrain mountain bike tyres. On the tyre wall it says: inflate to 280kpa (40 psi), MAX LOAD 75KG (165 LBS).
Could somebody explain, and could somebody tell me what my maximum and what my minimum tyre pressure would be.
Max load is how much mass you can load the tires with. I.e. the mass of the rider plus mass of the bike plus the mass of any accessories.
The load is approximately split equally between the two wheels so your total load mass would be 140kg (~308lbs).
Quality tires would usually give you a max and min inflation pressure. You can probably take the 280kpa as a maximum value.
