flying with a bike

01-13-2007, 07:32 PM

I brought m bike out from Ontario to British Columbia, and when i did, i let
the air out, thinking it would prevent the tires from popping... it did.

Was that nessisary?

Has anyone shipped their bike out, with the tires to their opperating
preasure and had no problems with them?

Thanks,

Micheal

Nope. I also leave mine at full pressure when I ship them. Never had a
problem.

Hi pookums, are you visiting pelicans today since it's so cold and you
have nothing to do?
