You must be a lightweight My combined personal + bike weight is about 218. That gave me a 95 front/120 rear pressure on my 23s. I'm trying it, and it seems to be OK, abeit, I'm probably not a good enough rider to really tell the difference. But I may change to 25s the next time around. Several of the riders in my group are 190-225 and they find the slightly lower front tire pressure good.
