    Should all be in your handbook/manual.

    Correct pressure should also be written on the sides of your tyres. I just realised I don't know what it is for my bike. :o I'm disgusted.

    Drum brakes are easy peasy.

    Dceire,

    All pressures are different on bikes. Should you not have your manual, your best bet is to call the dealer where you bought your bike and ask them.

    BTW - very best of luck in the test!

    Shar. :)

    Re the brakes: There is a little silver arrow pointer on the brake shaft that goes into the wheel hub and markings on the drum wheel hub - as you press the brake you will see the arrow move against the scale. Too low or off the scale means time for new brake pads.
    Also - If you have to press the brake pedal down very far - you need to adjust the travel to max about 1inch -usually by hand tightning the nut on the threaded bar at the brake hub.

    “Roll it back”
