P.P.S.: Conversely, running higher than recommended tire pressure will lead to:
1. Bumpy ride
2. Increased fuel efficiency
3. Reduced rolling friction
4. Decreased braking ability (on dry roads)

In addition to above, you will wear out the tread of the tyre faster than the side tread.

However, having said that, i always run my bike on slightly higher than normal pressures cos the tyre runs cooler.

@eshan, nitrogen will lower the pressure rise when the tyre heats up but not for long... In a long ride, the only advantage of nitrogen is lower rate of pressure leakage buts thats primarily due to its molecular structure.. Also, this effect is minimal as far as the rate of pressure drop is considered...

If someone is trying burnouts using nitrogen filled tyres, the air inside will be cooler if nitogen is used as compared to atmospheric air... The reason is nitrogen has a higher latent heat as compared to air

[satyenpoojary]

Adding to this topic...
Would filling Nitrogen help in such scenarios?? i mean whats the difference along with gains and losses?

The whole point of using Nitrogen is that its a cooler gas. The issue of drop in rolling friction would still exist.
So the road side logic is still correct to an extent. Drop in friction, (But a theoritcal gain in mileage)
I say theoritical coz that gain would perhaps be offset by acceleration and braking changes.

Stick to what the tyre company says, they have invested more in research. (Unless ofcourse you have a TVS tyre!)

Please wear ear plugs if you decide to ride with sharan... that tiny Yoshi on your bike wont bear the orgasmic shouting from the yammie...

I think Akash had some ride plans too..

Ah, Someone is a fan!

I just hoped it could do, what it's "intended" to do without all the noise!

As we learnt in 12th standard Chemistry, as per Gay-Lussac's law, pressure rise is directly proportional to rise in temperature. In our case, it is the temperature of the tire which is rising due to friction with the road. It has nothing to do with whether it has Argon or Hydrogen inside. As long as it is ANY gas inside, the temperature will rise since it is a function determined by the tire and road. Temperature will rise, and so will pressure. Thats how it is supposed to work even as per the manufacturer.

What Nitrogen does help in is it reduces the loss of air due to oxidation of the tire under high pressure(debatable though possible). There is less leakage, the cold tire pressure remains constant longer, you don't need to check the tire pressure over and over again, and you reduce your chances of under-inflating the tire unknowingly. Since there is no 21% oxygen in pure nitrogen(when compared with air), the oxygen cannot react with the inner rubber of the tire and ruin it(debatable) in effect reducing the tire pressure and tire life(debatable).

If someone is trying burnouts using nitrogen filled tyres, the air inside will be cooler if nitogen is used as compared to atmospheric air... The reason is nitrogen has a higher latent heat as compared to air

Latent heat is the heat absorbed by a body without any change in temperature. This essentially happens when the body is changing state from solid - liquid / liquid - gaseous / solid - gaseous / <-reverse. As long as you don't fill liquid nitrogen in the tire, Latent heat doesn't come into the picture.

If somebody does a burnout, the actual reason the air/Nitrogen inside the tire doesn't heat up actually does involve latent heat. It is the latent heat of the rubber of the tire (since that is changing its state to liquid ). The other reason is that rubber is a bad conductor of heat and during the burnout, only the surface of the tire gets heated, not the entire tire (as in regular continuous riding for 10/20/30 minutes).

The whole point of using Nitrogen is that its a cooler gas.

There is nothing cool about Nitrogen..

This guy is waay cooler

^That guy cant beat satyamza! :Cool:

the link to the movie..!

hey can you send the link to me too..??

hey can you send the link to me too..??

If you are asking about TT3 Closer to the edge, I have the movie, not the link. I could give that to you over the next G2G.

WD-40 in Pune?

Where can I get wd-40 spray in Pune? I tried probiker camp & many shops in nana peth but did not succeed.

Try life cycle mall on tilak rd...Near Pandit automobiles in front of the petrol pump in the chowk.

They have a huge container of these sprays. Sadly most hardware stores are also out of WD40 spray cans.

[satyenpoojary]

Behind roopali there is this stationery shop. I used to get my stock from there when I was in Pune...

I bought the can 5 days ago from a hardware shop near lokmanya tyres (paud road) ... you can try there.. he did have a couple of wd-40 cans stored there...

I want I want I want... will get a pendrive. Will try to attend the g2g next week.


BTW anyone game for Lavasa, sunday morning?

[inder.cool]

@Shashvat & Sumit: Anyone staying near Yerawada/Kharadi?

[Jayantnarangkar]

yesterday night i was coming back from Mumbai- Solapur trip.. i took few left right turns in pune for NH4 and got to know that m completely lost in pune city...
I asked a motorcyclist for NH4...
ME: Dada NH4 root kasa lagel?(way to NH4?)
Motorcyclist: Te kay aahe? (Whats that)
Me: lonavlyala jaycha aahe.. Kasa jaycha? (Want to go lonavla)
Motorcyclist:Mag tasa sanga na.. ek kaam kara pudhe jaun chowkaat vichara.(ask in circle ahead)
Me: Ok

me and my pillion was laughing at him..

Aked a guy at circle..
Me: Bhau Lonavla?
Guy:Take right ahead
Me: ok...

Afetr taking right turn asked a guy again
Me: lonavla?
Guy: aare ikde kuthe aalat u turn mara aani straight jaa...
ME: pakka?
guy: ho ho..
ME: Ok

Now took uturn and asked a rikshawala again
Me:Lonavla?
Rikshawala: aare lonavlyala jaychay tar ithe kuthe challat.. ha city root aahe tumhala kalnaar nahi, 1 kaam kara ithun u mara aani rightla jaun stright jaa...
Me: ok

did as auto guy said and asked a biker again..
Me: Lonavla?
Biker:saral jaun right.. aani mag deccan chya ithun jaa..
Me: Ok

followed his directions and took deccan road, seen lots of chicks with their guy near deccan gymkhana even at 12.30AM

finaly Seen a Tempowala with MH04 Number plate, asked him are you going thane and he said yes.. it put a smile on ma face... followed him till i get NH4 and then i zoomed ahead..

thers lots of sign boards at every 500mts for city roots but not even a single sign board for highway roots.. hate pune city.. spent my 1 and half hour in for getting proper roots, asked so many guys but not even a single person was able to help with roots.. everyone tells different roots

[rohitlc]

Google maps tells exact routs.in pune every galli leads to every destination u wish. At 12.30am u will hav to comfirm that the guy u asking is sober. And ya some may just enjoy misguiding you. Welcome to Pune.
