Why are bicycle tires prone to puncture in summer?

Causes of easy puncture of bicycle tires in summer;

1. In summer, the weather is hot and the temperature is high, and the air has the characteristics of thermal expansion. Higher temperature will make the air in the bicycle tire expand, and when the pressure in the tire reaches the limit that the outer tire can bear, the tire will burst.

2. The high temperature environment in summer will soften the rubber of tires and reduce their compression resistance, which is also the main reason why bicycles are prone to puncture in summer.

Prevention of bicycle puncture in summer:

1, just charge the tire pressure to the middle value of the tire pressure. If the air pressure marked on the tire is 10-20psi, the tire air pressure can be inflated to 15psi.

2. When the bicycle needs to be placed outdoors for a long time, it should be placed in a cool place, not in direct sunlight for a long time.
