i would like to say that i check them every ride, but the last ride i didn't but remembered towards the end.

Not the best practice.

Generally when mine feel flat, I will ride it for a few more weeks out of laziness and then get around to checking them when I see someone else check theirs at a servo on the way home from work or something....

the night before i go for a big ride, i check the pressures, otherwise i'll check em in the morning on the way out at the nearest servo wth a reliable tyre pressure gauge so the tyres dont get too warm.

Check my tyres before every ride.............

Are they Black ?? Yes

Are they Round ?? Yes

Are the Rims touching the Ground ?? No

off we go then............


(maybe once a month if that........checking *spoked* wheels should be done way more frequently.....but modern mags with tubeless tyres ? :roll: )

I check the tyres once a week, and every time I go out for a ride-for-the-sake-of-riding.
