The Victoria's ride harsh, the Veloflex ride smoother, both have 8 bars or 115psi inflation, the minimum required inflation. Fortunately, I weigh less then 150 lbs.
Interesting.
I ride Masters at 85 front/95 or so rear.
Our streets stink here in St. Paul and I like to keep the fillings in my mouth.
When I ride on paths locally like the Gateway they go up 10 pounds front and rear.
That path is like riding on smooth sheets of glass compared to our streets and it's fun to let them rip when no one is in sight.
