The Schwalbe Marathon Supremes have a max recommended pressure of 85 psi. That seems to be irrespective of the size (I have the 35 on the AHH and the 50 on the Bombadil). I end up pumping the rear one to about 80 and the front one to about 70, and then pretty much don't pump them again for a month or so. The Schwalbe tubes seem to hold air for a very long time, and I notice how as the weeks pass, the ride becomes "softer" and then "hardens" up a bit again after I pump them back up.
It's hard for me to tell which pressure is the most "effective" one, as the harder pressure makes the bike seem faster due to the additional vibration that they transmit. Not a big deal, but if the spreadsheet is made available, then I'd use it as a guide. I tore my front Marathon Supreme 700x2.0 on a broken bottle while riding in the rain with my Bombadil, so for the past week I've been commuting on the Marathon Extreme 700x40. I have to say that they ride extremely nice on the pavement and I'd be hard pressed to tell which one I prefer. I have now received a replacement tire and since I have two wheelsets, I may try to do a comparison, although I think it'll be fruitless. I'd still want to know what would the optimal pressure for each tire should be as a starting point. I don't think that pumping them up to the same pressure would be right. Then again, I may end up doing nothing of the sort and just riding them without knowing which one I really prefer... :-) René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
