even at those higher inflation rates, the bicycle is noticeably more comfortable than my trek 1500 by miles. normally i let the tires go down to 50 or 60 and refill as i don't care to pump them up to often. watts don't concern me as that is one of the reason i ride is for exercise; at the higher inflation i get the best of both worlds: a long time before inflation and more comfort that my 25mm tires. if the bike was inflated to 50psi, then inflation chores would likely double.
thanks for the advice though, interesting.
