USING THE BROMPTON

TYRE PRESSURES

Tyre pressure is important for both comfort and safety. Please note the following tips for ensuring a safe
and comfortable ride.
It is important to keep your tyres well-inflated; soft tyres increase pedalling effort (which takes the fun out of
riding), wears tyres down quickly and has an adverse effect on handling. Keeping your tyres well-inflated
is highly recommended.
The most appropriate pressure depends on your weight and preference. It's also worth remembering that
a very hard tyre isn't always faster. A hard tyre might be faster in the velodrome, on a rough road a lower
pressure will deflect more easily over uneven and rough road surfaces and therefore roll faster and make the
ride more comfortable. Generally a slightly lower pressure in the front wheel and slightly higher in the rear is
recommended, this accounts for the different weight distributions between the two tyres.
Brompton bikes are fitted with Schrader valves, allowing various methods of inflation. The Brompton pump
is installed on the rear frame of all-steel Bromptons with mudguards. When replacing the pump on the bike,
make sure that it has full engagement with the pump locators on the rear frame. You can also use a hand-
pump, or an air-line found at petrol/gas service stations.
The table below shows recommended tyre pressures for tyres supplied on your Brompton P Line bike.

TORQUE VALUES

A list of torque values for the major
components is shown here.
These parts should be checked
periodically, as well as during routine
maintenance and repair of the bicycle.
If components are not tightened to the
correct torque, it could cause damage
or failure of the part. This could cause
loss of control of the bicycle and result
in a crash.
*Never try to alter the height of the
handlebar stem where it enters the
front forks, it should be fully inserted
into the fork up to stop. If adjusting the
alignment of the handlebar to the front
wheel, ensure the fixing bolt is tightened
correctly before riding the bike.
If the handlebar stem is not fully inserted
or not tightened correctly, it could cause
movement or failure of the part in use.
