Maybe, maybe not. It's just what's on the package.

Edit: If the poster is on a folding bike then 120 is probably not necessary. My tires only need up to 70 or so. Also, if you look online you will find other people who have done up to 120. No picnic but it can be done.

You need a lot more to make it worthwhile. The shipping itself is EUR21 to SG I believe.

Yes, lubricants can be shipped and the price is pretty good compared to SG!

Either popeye sailor man, or the super master fapper.

Three other big sized guys and me tried to pump a Kojak tyre to 100psi.

We took turns, but the max we could do is about 75psi.

Your wheel is bigger size, so has to pump more volume in.

Ours is small wheel but has to inflate til the pressure reach very high. No strength to push all the way in.

I only pump until around 60-70psi on my road bike for leisure cycling. Any higher would be too bumpy...

For aleoca when washing, how to prevent it from getting rust? Just spray and forget about it?

After spraying water cleaning tires, do we still need to do anything to dry it?

Spray WD40 and wipe those parts that could get rusty easy. For bottom bracket and hub bearing, as long as they are covered by enough grease they are water resistant already.

 

[Broadwalk]

Pardon my ignorance. Where is bottom bracket and hub bearing you all referring to? What grease you use?

 

[SnorlaxGorGor]

Hi All, i am an 27.5" MTB cyclist.. anyone can recommend which model & brand slick tyre that good for road cycling?
if possible, please advise where to buy and how much is the cost per tyre.
thank you.

No offense but I think you better bring your bike to local bike shop for servicing (grease, adjustment etc) to begin with. You'll get to know which part is which at the same time and how to maintain it yourself in the future.
