Jogger Tyres and Bike Shops

Everyday we are inundated with people that have problems with their inflatable tyres. Well it is not the tyre that is inflated, it is the tube which sits inside the tyre.
Amongst, this problems about 40% have happened due to the pram owner going to a bike shop. There is absolutely nothing wrong taking your pram to a bike shop for flat tyres but remember it is up do you to go prepared.

Do not presume, even for a minute, that just because they know bicycles back the front that they know anything about prams.
The responsibility lies with you, the owner. 


The majority of problems that we see after a pram has been to a bike shop is over inflation of the tube. This usually results in the tube exploding or distorting the tyre &/or rim.Bicycle tubes are inflated to a high psi, this is totally different for pram wheels.


Here are some important facts you will need to know if anyone decides to pump up the tubes (not just bike shops).
Instruct the person what they need to do.


Always refer to your instruction manual.

• Know how the wheel comes off the axle. Do not allow pins to be removed.
• Know the maximum psi (air pressure) that your particular tube takes
• Do not have the tube patched
• Do not have any puncture foam filler applied

 Remember that tubes are a self fitting part.You just need to know a few basic facts.
