Gazelle Bicycle Serial Number
Why is inflation pressure so important in bicycle tires?
- Serial Number: 2572764 Nickname: Dutch Treat. Gazelle’s bikes are often referred to as the most Dutch bike. Many older riders in Great Britain and Northern Europe fell in love with cycling while riding Gazelles in their youth. Although very popular in Europe they were never widely distributed in North America.

If the inflation pressure is continuously too low, premature tirewear is the result. Cracking of the sidewall is the typical consequence. Abrasion is also unnecessarily high.

Only tires with sufficient inflation pressure can bear the weight of a bicycle. The following applies for the road: The higher the inflation pressure the lower the rolling resistance of the tire. The susceptibility to punctures is also lower with high pressure.
On the other hand, an under-inflated tire absorbs road shocks better.
Wide tires are generally used at lower inflation pressure. The larger air volume is advantageous in that it absorbs road bumps and holes, but does not suffer from higher rolling resistance, less puncture protection or tire wear.
Tubeless tires can also be used at low inflation pressure.
How often should tire pressures be checked?
Bicycle Serial Number Lookup
The inflation pressure should be checked and adjusted at least once a month. Even the best tubes constantly lose pressure as, contrary to car tires, the pressure required in bicycle tires is much higher and wall thickness much thinner. A pressure loss of 10-15 psi per month can be viewed as normal, but pressure loss will be much faster with high inflation pressures and much slower with low inflation pressures.
When using latex tubes, it is best to check and adjust the inflation pressure before every ride.
Use a pressure gauge to monitor the inflation pressure. The widespread thumb-test method is very inaccurate, as all tires will feel identically hard from a pressure of approx. 2 bar up. The thumb test is completely insufficient for Marathon Plus tires due to the special puncture belt.
What is the correct inflation pressure for my tire?
It is impossible to make a general recommendation on inflation pressure for a specific bicycle or a particular tire. The “right” inflation pressure depends mainly on the load exerted on the tire. This weight is mainly influenced by the weight of the rider and any luggage. Contrary to a car, the vehicle weight is only a minor part of the total weight. In addition, there is a great diversity of individual preferences with regard to low rolling resistance or suspension comfort.
The permitted inflation pressure range is marked on the tire sidewall. The higher the inflation pressure, the lower the rolling resistance, the tire wear and the likelihood of a puncture. The lower the inflation pressure the higher are the comfort and grip that the tires provide.
The following list of inflation pressure recommendations can only provide a very general guide for three different rider weights. The more narrower the tire and the higher the overall load, the higher the necessary inflation pressure.
Tires with very small diameters (recumbent bike, folding bike) also require a higher pressure.
But the actual tire pressures should never be higher or lower than the maximum and minimum inflation pressures marked on the tire sidewall.
Serial Number 23329,bought in October 2010, the second hunting
This bicycle is my first old bicycle, as a gift from my husband. He already bought Wearwell, a British made. So, he promised me, if i visit him to the city, where he was relocated for work, then he will buy an old ladies bicycle in that city.
So, during the school holiday, i went to that city. This was our second old bicycle hunting. And at the second day, he took me to several places. At the last place, it was raining, and he picked for me the cheapest old bicycle there. Hem, i was sad at that time. I wish for the branded bicycle, in good condition. Due to the rain, i had no other choice, but to agree with him. He took me and that bicycle to the mechanic to repair the break and check the wheel.
At the mechanic, a young man came and asked how much is this bicycle. I answered him, that this is a cheap price. For me, it doesn't matter, weather it is branded or not. As long it is good for ride, that's o.k. for me. He stood on my bicycle for a while. I was confused, what things that he admired from my ugly old bicycle.
The next morning my husband awoke me, just to show that he found the Gazelle words marked on the frame. It is barely seen by bare eyes. I had to use small lamp to discover the marked Gazelle words. Since then, i searched on internet about any details of my old rusty gazelle. I am happy that I found you, my old rusty Gazelle.

The early production of Gazelle, they didn't attach any emblem on it. It was only the words Gazelle, as looked at the attached picture. Starting on the 4th series, Gazelle finally attached their emblem on it.
Serial Number 23329
Based on http://www.sepedaonthel.com/rangka_sepeda.php, if you enter the brand 'Gazelle' and the frame serial number 23329, then it shows that this bicycle was produced in 1905.
From the serial number and the written brand 'Gazelle', it is known that this bicycle was the 2nd Generation of Gazelle, in which in 1905.During this period, Gazelle still imported some bicycle from Great Britain, which caused the serial number is on the left side of the saddle, and searching on the trade mark that can be used in the market. After the third series, finally they could have their own factory in Netherlands and created their emblem and assigned permanently their serial number on the right side of frame under the saddle.
