5 reeze Rides - Ladies Only June to ugust am start each DTE / VENUE 21st July - STOURRIDGE Mary Stevens Park (by bandstand), Stourbridge, DY8 2 VI PPROX MILGE lent 11 OMMENTS SUPPORT RIDERS How hard is too hard (taken from ycle, pril/may 2016 edition) tyre on a well-surfaced road should be inmated harder than one used on, say, chip-seal, but since most road rides will encounter a mix of surfaces, some sort of compromise pressure works best. One rule of thumb suggests inmating until the tyre compresses by 15% of its width, so a 25mm tyre should compress by 3.75mm. Measure wheel spindle centre to ground unladen and then when sitting on the bike, then adjust pressure until the diference is just under 4mm It s a bit easier, when inmating a road tyre, to start at about 95psi(23mm), or 75psi (32mm), and adjust each end until, on a regular road surface, vibration can just be felt. It s a good indication not to go harder. Entry to the museum is free of charge. One of 5 charge to be paid at the Rock Houses - on this occasion there is no charge for the ride itself. rian (L) Karen, Roger Mary
