One question for the group here: My Zipp 303S wheels have a max psi of 72. I've been a little nervous to let my airshot rip at higher pressure as a result, but am finding that 72psi in the airshot isn't enough to seat a stubborn tire.
Is there a danger in going higher to get the tire seated, then lower back down to normal riding pressure?
I pump my airshot to 140 when I use it- the tires never even come close to 72 PSI. It's usually 50-60 depending on tire size.
