You can send a note to the mods, but this forum notoriously SUCKS when it comes to these things.

I don't ride on the same roads you do, so for you maybe the PSI you are running is right for you.

But even on annoying chipseal I run 95-100PSI which prevents pinch flats and is much better for me than 115. BTW I weigh about 145 pounds.

Do you really get pinch flats if you drop your pressure to 95?!? If you haven't tried it before you may wish to.
