[QUOTE=boogman;13980068]I tried out my new Windsor Tourist with its 32c tires on one of the local trails.... I was miserable going down the trail with the 32c tires.. my panniers kept bouncing in the back.. the 32c tires were aired to 80PSI. [QUOTE]

If 80 was adequate for the rear, you needed less than 70 for the front and less than 60 if you only had rear panniers. That might have made it a bit more pleasant.

FWIW, 40s will let you drop the pressure at least another 20# in each tire. That should smooth things out.

The only way to keep your panniers from bouncing is to stay off that trail or use a bike with shock absorbers.
