Hoses

How to choose a bike hose?

The choice of a bike casing is essential for a successful cycling experience. Here are some tips to help you choose the right hose:

• Understanding your needs : before choosing a hose, consider the type of trip you plan. If you are considering paved roads and rugged terrain, opt for robust hoses with good grip. For long distances on smooth roads, prefer lightness.

• Appropriate size : make sure that the diameter of the hose corresponds to the rim of your wheel. The dimensions are usually indicated in millimeters (for example, 700x23(c). Choose the ones that best fit your itinerary.

• TPI (Threads Per Inch) The higher the IPT, the more flexible the hose is and better adhesion. For the trip, an IPR from 220 to 320 is generally recommended.

• Resistance to puncture : if your trip takes you on unmaintained roads, look for reinforced hoses to reduce the risk of puncture.

• Comfort and grip : choose a hose offering a good balance between comfort and grip. This will guarantee a pleasant driving, even on kilometres.

• Tire pressure : make sure to keep the tire pressure recommended for your hoses, as this can affect comfort and performance.

• Regular maintenance : ensure regular inspection and maintenance of your hoses to extend their life and avoid problems during travel.

The choice of the bike hose for your trip will depend on the destination, road conditions and your personal preferences. Opt for quality hoses, adapted to your specific needs, to fully enjoy every kilometre of your bike adventure.
