Oh, and look at the highest pressure spec on the sidewall of the tyre. and if you go to a wider tyre as per the other thread, readjust your bike computer to the appropriate circumference setting.
I already have a Topeak Turbo Morph G pump that I intend to take on the trip, and I intend to max out the pressure written on the side wall. I wont need to worry about the adjusting the cycling computer as im not taking one, instead I have ordered a Garmin Edge Touring Plus GPS.
