The volume of air that a bicycle rim can hold must have a greater pressure to support the weight of the cyclist and prevent it from deforming during pedaling or hitting with obstacles. ↳ Max pressure: the maximum pressure output of a pump is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch), which is the amount of air that can be put into a tyre.
