I'm not really sure how much my bike weighs but it's a 68cm Atlantis. I typically don't carry a whole lot of stuff with me. I have a Nitto Top Rack with a Big Loafer, in which I carry tools, tube, pump, rain shell, etc. I weigh about 230 pounds these days. So I would say that the total weight is probably in the neighborhood of 275 pounds. I always default to the max recommended pressure when I inflate my tires on account of my size; so initially I had the Racers inflated to 85 PSI. They rode fine at 85 but I noticed that after they lost some air, they actually rode quite a bit better. The "sweet spot" for me seems to be around 75 PSI.
