The pressures shown on the sidewalls of most tires are way too high. I've seen 23mm tires rated to 120psi. Sure, the tire may stay on the rim, but there's no reason to run them that hard. And it can lead to premature failure of the rim. On my Rambuillet, I use the Challenge Parigi Roubaix which have a stated width of 27mm, but measure 29mm when new, and 30mm after a few hundred miles. I weigh 170lbs and run them at 60psi front and 75psi rear. I have arthritis in my spine and if I'm feeling a bit sore, I'll drop the PSI by about 10. -- Peter White -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
