Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

SpongeBob is actually a pretty good cartoon. The current ones, I don't know so much, but the first few seasons were gold.

GOLD, Jerry!!

Far be it for me to suggest to the Pope how to inflate his tires. But for clinchers at 23mm width and your current weight, you might want to try dropping your pressure to about 100F and 105R. I think you will like the ride.

One of the guys I ride with only pumps his tires up to 70-75PSI. And that's on 23mm width tires. That seems low pressure even to me but he does not get pinch flats and it certainly does not seem to slow him down.

I've been working way too hard for the last couple of days. I'm going to go riding tomorrow. Or I might just post more crap here.

Maybe you can post a five-page report on tyre pressure?

that is impossible. the various attributes of homebrew lubricants is worthy of more serious discussion.

How do you know what the real tyre pressure is? If I pump to 110 and then remove the nozzle and get that air rush sound, how do I know if I still hav 110 in the tyre. Just like when I close the fridge, how do I know if the light remains on or off?

Better: weather discussion. We might have an ice storm tomorrow.

You knucklehead. The air rushes out of the hose, not the tyre. If you pump it up to 110 and then remove the nozzle, it's 110.

Who told you that? I bet that's an urban myth.

Looks downright frosty out east, but we are in the 40's this morning at 4:00 a.m. It's like whenever the weather changes, there has to be more to it than Mother Nature just doing her thing 99% of the time.

I am told spring will be here soon.

Some of it has to come out of the tyre.

Just to be safe, to ensure that the tires are properly inflated with no air loss... Step inside one of these with your bike, set the pressure to about 7 atm, open the valves on your tubes to equalize pressure, close valves, then release pressure inside the pressure chamber. Easy.
