Cold Tires...
Alright, so I've got a problem... winter is coming fast, and as the temperatures drop, so does my tire pressure. I was told filling the tire with nitrogen rather than air would help, does anyone have any input in the subject? -- AK_unipsycho ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AK_unipsycho's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17683 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73314 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Rather than give you a link without any explanation as to why I'm giving you the link or any hint as to what it contains (which I see more and more of in this forum) I will simply tell you that, no, it won't help. -- harper -Greg Harper *jc is the only main man. there can be no other.* "Natural logs are what you ride on a Mun'e'." - kevinalexandersmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/426 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73314 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Air is 79% Nitrogen. 100% Nitrogen will escape from your tyre slightly more slowly than air - but you will not notice the difference over a period of a couple of weeks. The pressure in your tyre will change even during a ride. Riding warms up the air in the tyre and increases the pressure slightly. Check your tyre pressure with a biodigital gauge before each ride. (That means pinch it between your fingers.) If the pressure appears a little low, this can easily be rectified using a pump. Make sure you use a bicycle pump, not a water pump, heat pump or a pair of pumps. -- Mikefule In democracies, most people vote for the candidate most like themselves.

If the tyre goes down with air, you can pump it up. If it goes down with nitrogen you have pay to top it up. Pumping up the tyre every now and again makes no harm really. -- 1-wheeled-grape *this signature is pointless... do not **even bother reading it, it would be a waste of time you wasted your time didn't you? * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1-wheeled-grape's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15877 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73314 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

i dont know why you'd put nitrogen in your uni tire, since you'd just get a snake bite pop anyway, and it'd leak i have no real comment in this thread, just that i hate trials in winter, since your tire pigs, and its hard to bounce. -- unibikeling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unibikeling's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14752 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73314 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
