LOL!! OK, 60 PSI may be exaggerating slightly... but the behemoth BAs (29x2.35) ARE rated at 55 PSI... And on smooth roads, when fully inflated these tires are SUPER fast... Still, I fear I will hit a speed bump under these conditions and start bouncing out of control... like an errant Whamo Super-ball (remember those?)... The FUN factor of the BAs is hard to resist... I really should read BQ, come to think of it...

Typically, though I keep them at around 32-35 PSI and -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
