I know you can't use very high pressure with these rims but an attempt to go to 75psi blew the tire off the rim. What is a safe pressure to use and are these tires appropriate for these rims?









I've got to bump these pics, just because this is such a beautiful example. Just love those under-stated early Motobecane graphics.
And BTW, BD63, I too think that bike would look great with all black tires.
