Tires Bicycles
do bicycle tires actually go flatter the more you DON’T use it?
it seems if i ride my bike everyday, the tires stay nice and full of air….but if i leave it in the house for a month or 2 then it seems to get too flat to ride. anyone know anything about this?
hey that’s pretty good info there bigring…what pros actually go along with filling their tires with nitrogen?
AS a bike moves and the tires are rolled with your body weight, this force excites the molecules that make up the tube/tire and forces them to be a uniform distance apart…
AS the bike sits, the forces have the rubber to start beaking down(relaxing) opening ever increasing spaces in between the molecules that make up the tube/tire…
Couple this with trying to contain some of the smallest molecules on the periodic table and you have a problem if the bike sits – not too big of a problem though, just refill your tires with air…
Some pro teams are using Nitrogen to fill their tires!
UV/Sunlight is another excellerant of rubber/tire degradation – store your bike away from windows!
Now you know!
