How can you reduce the number of punctures on your road bike?

It is recommended to reduce the number of punctures on road bikes in the following ways:

1. Priority is given to radial tires.

Tubeless tires and radial tires have a soft carcass, and the belt layer is made of fabric cord or steel cord with high strength and small tensile deformation, so this kind of tire has strong impact resistance, low rolling resistance, and low energy consumption, which is most suitable for driving on the highway.

Tubeless tires have small mass, good air tightness, low rolling resistance, and in the case of tire perforation, the tire pressure will not drop sharply, and it can continue to drive completely. Because this kind of tire can directly dissipate heat through the rim, the working temperature is low, the tire rubber aging rate is slow, and the life is relatively long.

2. Use low-pressure tires as much as possible.

At present, almost all cars and trucks use low-pressure tires; Because the low-pressure tire has good elasticity, wide cross-section, large contact surface with the road, thin wall and good heat dissipation, these characteristics improve the driving smoothness and steering stability of the car, greatly prolong the life of the tire, and prevent the occurrence of puncture.

3. Pay attention to speed level and carrying capacity.

Each type of tire has different speed and load limits due to different rubber and structure. When choosing tires, the driver should see the speed level signs and carrying capacity signs on the tires, and choose tires that are higher than the maximum driving speed and maximum carrying capacity of the vehicle to ensure driving safety.

4. Maintain the standard air pressure of the tire.

The life of a tire is closely related to air pressure. If the driver finds that the tires are overheating due to high air pressure, it is absolutely not allowed to use the method of deflating and pouring cold water on the tires to reduce the temperature, which will speed up the aging of the tires. In this case, you can only stop the car for natural cooling and pressure reduction.

For tire pressure too low, the driver should inflate in time and check whether the tire is slow to deflate, so as to replace the tire with good air tightness.

A flat tire on a highway car is too dangerous, and it turns out that doing so can effectively avoid a puncture.

I have also ridden the OCR3500 and the puncture problem is really a headache, I have been in this situation before......

Michelin's training tire was the crux of the problem, the tire wall was too soft and thin, and even at 110psi, it would still puncture.

The solution is to replace those two tires and buy a Maxxis training tire, of course, the tire pressure should be above 100psi, and I usually hit 110psi.

Put a steel tape measure between the inner tube and the outer tire.

The solution to the puncture of the highway car: 1. Do not slam on the brakes, in the case of a puncture, heavy braking will cause the center of gravity of the vehicle to be unstable and throw the vehicle out of the controllable range, so you can not step on the brakes immediately after the puncture; 2. Do not release your foot from the accelerator pedal immediately, it is recommended to keep the accelerator for a period of time, and then slowly release the accelerator pedal; 3. Try to keep the vehicle straight, if the vehicle turns or slams the direction after the tire burst, it will break the balance of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to deviate to one side, if this has happened, please keep calm, reverse the direction to the side of the vehicle, try to keep the vehicle straight, and control the running state of the vehicle; 4. Do not adjust the direction excessively, excessive adjustment of the direction in the case of too fast speed will cause the vehicle to roll over, especially after a tire burst on the highway, you should drive slowly to the parking area, and adjust the direction at a small angle as much as possible; 5. Control the running state of the car after the slide, let the vehicle gradually from idle to stationary, use the engine brake when necessary, when the speed is lowered, and then lightly step on the brake, turn on the turn signal, and get out of the road driving area.

1. The first thing to remind you to pay special attention to is that punctures don't just happen in the summer. If the tire pressure is too low or too high, excessive tread wear is close to scrap, and the vehicle's tires can burst even on a rumbling winter day. Therefore, avoiding tire punctures should start with daily maintenance.

2. Frequent inspection of tires can play a role in eliminating the hidden danger of punctures. In particular, it is necessary to check whether the tire pressure is within the standard range, not too high or too low.

3. It is necessary to frequently remove stones or foreign objects in the tread pattern groove to avoid the deformation of the tire crown. Check whether there are scratches and punctures on the sidewall of the tire, whether the cord is exposed, and replace it in time if so.

4. Vehicles that often drive on the highway must regularly transpose the tires, and the time, method and method of tire transposition.

5. When the vehicle is driving on the highway, the driver should hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, try to avoid driving over foreign objects, such as stones, bricks and wooden blocks, etc., and avoid the pin chain driving through the sudden deep pit at high speed.

6. All tires should be used within their service life, and the service life of car tires should be 2 or 3 years or about 60,000 km, and tires that exceed the service life or have been seriously worn should be replaced with new tires in time.

7. In the scorching summer, if you need to park the vehicle for a long time, it is best to park the vehicle in a cool place to avoid the tires being exposed to the scorching sun.

8. I don't know if you have noticed that many professional tire shops or professional auto repair service shops now have services for filling tires with nitrogen. If your tires are filled with nitrogen, it can not only prolong the service life of the tires, but also keep the tire pressure stable for a long time, reduce the probability of punctures, and increase the safety of the vehicle.

To reduce the chance of a puncture, of course, you must have the sense of responsibility and confidence to take care of the vehicle, as well as some driving skills.

<> "When car owners travel by car, they need to check the tire condition of the vehicle in advance, so as not to affect the travel plan of the car owner due to tire reasons. So what to do about a flat tire on the highway?

When the owner of the car has a puncture on the highway, the owner must be calm at this time, first of all, hold the steering wheel of the car, as far as possible to ensure that the vehicle does not lose control.

Then the owner needs to slowly reduce the speed of the car, as far as possible to avoid sudden braking, otherwise, the vehicle is easy to roll over or out of control.

When the speed of the vehicle slows down, the owner should park the vehicle in the emergency lane, after the vehicle is parked, you need to turn on the double flashing lights of the car, and then erect a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle, and evacuate to the guardrail.

After the above steps are completed, the owner can ask the 4S shop for help or find other rescue teams, if the owner has a spare tire on the car, in fact, you can also try to replace the spare tire.

Highway car puncture treatment method: 1, do not slam on the brakes, after the puncture, the driver shouts that the rider will instinctively step on the brakes, in the case of a puncture, heavy braking will cause the vehicle's center of gravity to be unstable, and throw the vehicle out of the controllable range, so the brakes can not be stepped on immediately after the puncture; 2. Do not release your foot from the accelerator pedal immediately, it is recommended to keep the accelerator for a period of time, and then slowly release the accelerator pedal; 3. Try to keep the vehicle straight, after the vehicle has a puncture, if you turn or slam the direction will break the balance of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to deviate again, if this has happened, please keep calm, towards the side of the vehicle bias to play the direction, try to keep the vehicle straight to drive, control the vehicle transport Zheng sedan state.

If the front wheel has a puncture:

The front wheel bursts, not only the car will tremble, tilt, but also the steering wheel will suddenly be pulled by a very strong force to the side of the puncture, a slight negligence, not control the steering wheel, the car will turn backwards 360 degrees and cause accidents. At this time, if you hit the brakes due to nervousness, the consequences are even more unimaginable. After the tire is deflated, the bond with the steel rim becomes loose, and the part of the tire that touches the road surface will deform and become detached from the steel rim.

The other wheel is correspondingly difficult to brake and may have to move on, resulting in the vehicle rolling over. Therefore, do not panic, control the steering wheel with both hands, and try to keep the original driving direction; Immediately let go of the throttle and let the car slow down; Do not make a sharp turn, let the car continue to drive in the original direction for a short time, tap the brakes and double jump; When the speed has completely reduced completely, tap the steering wheel to stop in a safe place on the side of the road, change the tires, and move forward again.

Hold the steering wheel tightly, adjust the front of the car, move gently, and don't hit the steering wheel repeatedly in a panic to avoid strong sideslip or even U-turn of the car. Then slow down slowly, you can put in neutral or downshift, release the accelerator pedal and repeatedly gently apply the brakes to bring the car to a slow stop.

And the maintenance of tires:

First, carefully check the tread and tire pressure of the tires before leaving the car.

Second, it is strictly forbidden to overload the vehicle during driving to prevent tire puncture caused by excessive tire load. In addition, speeding is also strictly prohibited, and authoritative data show that if a car has a flat tire accident at a speed of more than 160 kilometers per hour, the fatality rate of the driver and passengers is 100%.

Third, when the motor vehicle is driving on the highway, enter the service area every 2 hours or so to take a short break, and do not immediately sprinkle water on the tires of high-temperature cars, so as not to deform the tires. Look

The high-speed safety distance is 200 meters, and there is something wrong with your assumptions... Grab the wheel and resign yourself to fate...

Oh buy ga. Oh buy ga.

Pull the handbrake.
