Can Tubeless Tires Be Inflated with a Bicycle Pump?
1 Answers
Tubeless tires can be inflated with a bicycle pump. The method for inflating tubeless tires with a pump is as follows: First, use a valve core tool to remove the valve core from the tire. Next, push the wheel rim flange to one side, then quickly proceed to inflate. Once the specified pressure is reached, tighten the valve core. Finally, perform a check to ensure there are no leaks before installation and use. Before inflating, ensure the tire has completely cooled down. Do not rush to inflate immediately after the vehicle has stopped. This is because during driving, the tire heats up due to rolling friction, causing the tire temperature to rise and increasing the internal tire pressure, which affects the accuracy of inflation. Additionally, to ensure driving safety, it is generally recommended to check the tire pressure once a month. Even the most airtight tires will naturally lose some pressure over time. If insufficient pressure is detected, it should be replenished promptly. Of course, if a tire leak is noticed while driving, besides promptly replenishing the pressure, it is more important to identify the cause of the leak.
