Tyre pressure

[Neil22]

Hi all I have just purchased a second hand Cyclamatic power plus and I am looking for a manual to find out correct tyre pressures can anyone help please

Presumably it doesn't tell you on the side of the tyre?

I have cut and pasted a short extract from a thread on this forum dated 2012 for a Cyclamatic power plus -

"I have made no adjustments to brakes or gearing as all seemed fair and proper, the only adjustments I have made are taking the front tyre up to 35psi and the back up to 45psi (advised by Halfords)."

Indicates 45psi pressure?

35 to 40 psi will be about right. On all my bikes, I always pump until it starts to become hard to pump. I never use a pressure gauge.

Ok will check thanks

It did say on the side wall thanks it’s between 45 and 65 psi

It's not that critical. Pump up until it becomes hard to pump, then pinch the tyre with your fingers to see what it feels like, and remember the feeling. Every month or so, pinch the tyre again to see whether it feels the same. If it feels squishy, pump it up again.

The handbook that I got with my Cyclamatic Power Plus says 65 PSI
