What do you need to ride a road bike comfortably?

The easiest way to improve the ride quality of your road bike is to "set the tires to the correct air pressure."

However, the "best air pressure" varies depending on tire size and width, rim internal width, riding style, weight, and so on.

To enjoy riding your road bike more comfortably, you need to set your bike's tires to the correct air pressure.

To set the correct air pressure, a pressure gauge is essential! Here's our recommendation.

This is the "Panaracer Dual Head Digital Gauge" for 3,520 yen.

With a backlight, the measured values are clearly visible even at night or in dim places.

Also, if you press the HOLD button during measurement, you can fix the measured value, making it easy to check even after removing it from the valve! That's a nice feature.

If you want a rough idea of the correct tire pressure for your current bicycle, please refer to the following web pages.

●SRAM "Tire Pressure Guide"

●Renehersecycles "Tire Pressure Calculator"

We recommend adjusting the air pressure based on these values and then fine-tuning it to your preference!

Especially if you find inflating tires a hassle and always overinflate them, you should check this out.

Many people might be surprised to find that the correct air pressure is much lower than they expected.

Tires are an important part that absorbs road shock and affects speed and ride comfort!

Adjusting the air pressure alone will improve ride comfort and allow you to enjoy your road bike rides even more comfortably. 

Please give it a try!
