Air - chambers
Morning all
When I bought my Honwave T35 AE (second hand) I wasn’t told how much air should go in each chamber? I understand this can effect performance if under inflated etc so could someone tell me what bar they should be inflated to?
Ian

Each manufacturer will specify slightly different pressures. But 2 PSI is a good rule of thumb.
