Anyone have testing results/opinions?
I've seen a max. inflation of 72psi on some tubeless tires, so check the info on your tire against the Silca recommendation to make sure your tires can safely take 96 / 93.5 psi.
As for the pressure that will provide the most speed... there is no single magical number. It depends. And it will change based on weather conditions, road conditions, and the specific tires you are using. As stated by others, the Silca guide is a good starting point. Start there and feel free to experiment until you find what you like. At the end of the day, the best pressure is the one that works best for you.
