Lots of views on tire pressure - I found this article very useful as a 'starter' and then adjust to personal preference. https://janheine.wordpress.com/2010/...-and-pressure/ . The chart which I use as the 'starting guide' is near the end of the article.


Personally I think tires tend to be an under-appreciated part of the overall cycling experience. I do not know the Bontrager H2 tire. I installed good old Marathon Supremes on my hybrid and no complaints (or, touch wood, punctures!)
