Carlton 8 bike Air Pressure

Hello Bikers/Bike Experts,

I’m new to the bike world and brought a new Carlton Mixte 8 (SM 5’3” to 5’5” ). I don’t know much air pressure to pump for this bike. Please advise about it. Thanks.

32 mm tires? Offhand, I'd do 60-80 psi. Check your tire sidewall closely. There should be an inflation range listed there.

Or you could use a pressure calculator, such as this one:

+1

Within the inflation range listed on the sidewall it is a matter of personal taste. It depends on many factors including the characteristics of the tires.
