Using your Ardent Race mountain bike tire is straightforward. First, make sure to mount it correctly on your 29 - inch mountain bike rims. You can use it tubeless or with a tube, but tubeless setup is recommended for better performance and puncture resistance. Before each ride, check the tire pressure. The recommended PSI is 60, and keeping it at this level will ensure optimal speed and traction. When riding, you'll notice how well it rolls on hard - packed ground and grips during braking and cornering. Be aware that different terrains may require slight adjustments in your riding style. For example, on wet or loose surfaces, take corners a bit slower to fully utilize the tire's traction. When it comes to maintenance, after each ride, clean the tire with a mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Check the sidewalls regularly for any signs of cuts or abrasions. If you notice any damage, it's a good idea to inspect it further and consider replacing the tire if necessary. Also, store your bike in a cool, dry place to extend the tire's lifespan.
