It's very likely not the right thing to do. Many of the wide 700Cs intended for hybrid use have astonishingly high pressures on their sidewalls. At ~200 lb I comfortably and safely use 32mm tires at around 70 psi -- a little less in front, a little more in back, and never have pinch flats. I've seen 35 and 38mm hybrid tires marked 100 psi or even higher; I use 50 psi for 650B tires of the same width. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
