I threw in tread durometer as a factor. Don't know if it is or not, but it could be. I would think softer tires would work better at higher pressures than a hard tire at the same pressure. Who knows. Anybody have durometer info on bicycle tires?

Very good! Let's try to get them to come up with some magic formula for tpi and psi without actually riding a bike.

It's an '08 and they said it should come with a basic guide. Can't afford the newer one with all the aero features. Well, I could get a newer one, but then there wouldn't be any $ left to actually enter a race. (New TT bike sucked the bike funds dry)

And how could all you people hate Fletch? Probably think The Jerk sucked too.

Congratulations...I knew it was going to work out for you even if you had your doubts.

No offense rich, but after seeing what you do to people who try to help you, I don't think I would accept help from you.

Yes B, I know "Ignore him."

Done.

I just wish the ignore button didn't have a 'show post' thing. Oh well. Must resist the urge.
