Hello all, I might just be the kind of person that finds a happy mid zone in the 700x28c tire as I can't seem to enjoy riding my rambouillet with anything larger. I do like supple, large volume, tires. I ride big plush 650b tires or round 559 slicks on other bikes. On the Ram a 32mm or larger tire feels too bouncy/springy. I looked into information about tire pressure but it was confusing. Jan Heine's chart about 15% deformation and load distribution claims that at my weight (175lbs with the bike) I should ride pressures in the 30s for 32mm tires - that seems very low.
Right now I ride various 28mm tires at about 80psi front and 90psi rear. What setup (psi tires etc) are people enjoying on their 700c road bikes (in riv terms that is: RS, LL, Ram, Rom, Leg, AHH, Rodeo, Customs)? Is personal size as much of an issue and I am expecting it to be? I am 5'8" and 150lbs if I round up. I expect that tire sizes would feel different for someone who is 6'3" and proportionally heavier. Why change my setup if it isn't broken? Just to try new options and experiment with bike fit.
