That's very nice of PRO-LITE. Now let's see what pressures the pros actually ride at:

This article does list mostly the wet-weather pressures, but for some teams dry-weather pressures are also listed. Omega-Pharma goes with 123 psi for example. Astana uses 123-130.5, Team Sky also 130.5. Quite far from ridiculously high 150 psi.

Edit: From Nick Legan, a pro tech:

Example:
"At RadioShack, we inflated to 8 bar each dry race day (that’s 116 psi at sea level). And we would only go down from there for lighter riders or if it rained."
