[RBW] Re: (GIF) Don't know how this can be explained

Which is why the fastest riders are on recumbents. I can no longer manage a recumbent because western PA hills don't align with a bike who's saddle can be climbed out of -- and I'm too old and out-of-shape to spin fast enough to maintain speed. Mashing on pedals and old knees don't get along

Re: [RBW] QUESTION: Rat Trap Pass

On these tires, yes. It's actually 23 to 28, and that's front versus rear. I consider this the best pressure range for sidewall support and cushioning on combined dirt and pavement; if I rode dirt exclusively, I'd probably drop the pressure a few psi -- indeed, perhaps 20 f and 23 rear. If I rode

Re: [RBW] QUESTION: Rat Trap Pass

And Keith's remark on rim width reminds me of something very pertinent; mine measure IIRC about 27 mm inside. Narrower rims of course would require more pressure, especially with such thin sidewalls as on the RTP and F Fred. On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at 10:12 AM, Patrick Moore wrote: > On these tires,

I forgot to put my weight on my response. I weigh 147 lbs. and run my pressure at 24-28 psi (in general). There are so many factors to consider when deciding on a tire pressure. How bad is the riding surface do you ride on? How aggressive are you in corners? (Don't want to roll the tire off the
