The correct air pressure is decisive for smooth running and a good protection against punctures.The maximum pressure is printed on the side of your tire. Since your Street Machine GT is fully suspended you can always go for the maximum pressure.You might find an indication of the minimum required pressure on the side of the tire as well.
Since the tubes in the tires gradually loose air you should check the air pressure before every ride.
The tubes come with Presta valves (also called french valves).They are very airtight and easy to pump up. For that purpose first undo the valve cap.
Before pumping up the tire, you have to undo the little knurled nut on the valve.
Now you see a small threaded rod with a knurled nut that comes out of the valve. Undo the knurled nut by loosening it as far as it goes.
To pump up the tire and check the pressure you need a pump with a gauge, preferably a solid standing air pump. Put the knob of the pump on the valve, push it completely on the valve and then retract it a little bit. Now you can pump up your tire easily.
After you have pumped up the tire to the maximum pressure pull off the pump knob. Secure the valve through turning the knurled nut on the threaded rod as far as it will go towards the valve. Finally put on the valve cap again.
Danger! Never pump up your tires beyond the maximum pressure.The tire may burst while riding or come off the rim, which may result in a serious fall.
