Maintenance Corner
Tires can make the biggest difference in the way your bike feels and handles. The most important thing, after you select your tires, is how much air pressure do you run. ENVE.com has an excellent chart to help guide you in deciding the right pressure for you and your riding style. Running too high of pressure will result in a decrease of traction along with an unsettling feel with the bike. Too low of pressure can result in the wheel and tire damage. If you are the kind of rider that jumps, and attacks, then you would want to increase your tire pressure to the upper limits of the chart. Lastly, proper pressure equals longer-lasting tires.

Look what’s new at Rucker. Several of the Rucker Group took time out of their weekend to clean up and add new features to the trail system on base. If you are looking for something new and adventurous close to home, visit Fort Rucker.
Thank you to everyone that took time out of your day to make this happen.
