I ride a Ram with Jack Brown (greens). Ram and I, with all our gear,
come in around 188, so that puts me in at 48 F and 60 R. I use 50 and
60. No bounce, no squish and I love these tires. I had Ruffy Tuffys
(28 mm for those aren't familiar) and ran them at the chart-recommended
pressures. They're great tires, too, but the Jacks are SO much more
comfy. No downside to the 33.3 mm tires. None. They are great in
every domain, with increased comfort over the RTs.

Hello all,
I might just be the kind of person that finds a happy mid zone in the
700x28c tire as I can't seem to enjoy riding my rambouillet with
anything larger. I do like supple, large volume, tires. I ride big
plush 650b tires or round 559 slicks on other bikes. On the Ram a
32mm or larger tire feels too bouncy/springy. I looked into
information about tire pressure but it was confusing. Jan Heine's
chart about 15% deformation and load distribution claims that at my
weight (175lbs with the bike) I should ride pressures in the 30s for
32mm tires - that seems very low.
Right now I ride various 28mm tires at about 80psi front and 90psi rear.
What setup (psi tires etc) are people enjoying on their 700c road
bikes (in riv terms that is: RS, LL, Ram, Rom, Leg, AHH, Rodeo, Customs)?
Is personal size as much of an issue and I am expecting it to be? I
am 5'8" and 150lbs if I round up. I expect that tire sizes would feel
different for someone who is 6'3" and proportionally heavier.
Why change my setup if it isn't broken? Just to try new options and
experiment with bike fit.
Thanks
JL
