Tires: quality, maintenance & puncturesUpdated 25 minutes ago

Quality

All our tires are made in Japan. They are designed for city riding and light trails, with excellent puncture resistance. More details here.

Their dimensions are standardized: 700x28C.

We also offer a range of Gravel tires, with our two models available here and here.

Maintenance

A tire and its inner tube are always slightly porous, so it is normal for tire pressure to decrease over time. We recommend checking and inflating your tires every 4 weeks.

The ideal pressure is around 6 bar. Our tires are designed to be inflated between 5.9 and 7.9 bar.

Keeping your tires properly inflated helps prevent punctures.

We recommend replacing your tires every 5 000 to 8 000 km, depending on their condition.

Punctures

In the event of a puncture, you can repair it yourself (using a suitable 700x28C inner tube, available at any bike shop), take your bike to a local bike shop or book an appointment at our Paris workshop here.

If you have a Jitensha ebike, there are a few specific points to keep in mind when repairing a puncture. You can find a short explanatory video here.
