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.
Pedal strike is more of a habit problem than a pedal problem, at least
for me. You start to learn what you can and can't get away with on
corners. Narrower pedals definitely help, but not as much as you might
think.
