Six points on tyre care: weekly pressure checks, embedded flints, oil, braking wear, kerbs and 1/8 inch toe-in, plus fitting and removal of wired-type tyres on well-base rims. Then the brake linkage adjustment with the fully floating pedal, front and rear rod settings, and a dimensioned setting diagram.
