Show me your speedometer or apps or whatever you use to record your 5-10mph increase.

Scrodzilla 09-09-10 07:53 PM

And a pic of you sitting on your bike.

I'm too drunk for this thread.


But agree on needing to see nudes on bikes or something

95 psi vs 130 psi is going to be a drastic difference right there. Not sure which one you're currently running, inclined to think it's the 130 psi ? Just my experiences with a 100 psi max pressure tires, but steering is crisper at max psi, even the way the rear tire feels accelerating and maintaining speed. As the tire gradually loses psi over a few weeks even hitting uneven pavement feels like the rim takes a hit. I don't go nearly as fast because of the lower psi, but that's because I'm not riding nearly as hard.

He said improved in riding quality; lower pressure = better quality.

My Krylion max out at 116, but I usually have it at ~97 front and ~107 on the back.

Do you prefer the lower pressures rather than the max ? I like the max psi myself. I know skinny road tires are going to be a harsh ride, so I don't let them get appreciably lower anymore.

i dig 60psi.

I prefer the lower pressure I'm using right now, much smoother ride. 130 PSI is not going to be a pleasant ride on rough city roads.

But red makes people race you and brings tickets!

Though... my car is red and when I drive I always feel faster than when I drive anyone else's non red cars..

This must be true!

Philasteve 09-10-10 05:49 PM

Wait they don't shrink when they get wet?
