Back when I started with a department store 10-speed, I did the pressure hero thing, using 90 psi in tires marked 65 psi. One day I parked it in the bright sun and when I came back, both tires had blown off the rim and big pieces of shredded inner tube littered the sidewalk. Wonder if it scared the bejeezus out of a passer-by. Fun times.
