I may give it a whirl, but it's hell trying to get 100psi in those tires.
I know it's not fancy, or high tech or even upscale, but it's the first one I've swung a leg over.
It's sure different than my road bikes, that's for sure.
I hope you are joking about 100 psi. You run the risk of blowing out the rims. Even if you are riding on paved streets you don't need half that pressure. I'm 250 lbs and run 50psi if I'm just riding on the road and 40 psi off road. The low psi off road gives u better traction.
