good job assembling the data - it shows we think much alike, Frank Bert was pretty sharp, and dipping too low can be dangerous. FWIW on the Barlows, I've cornered very hard and fast on narrow rims (Open Pro) at the pressures I run. The biggest concern with running too high pressure is wearing

I'm 190 and running my SP Els at about 60-65 on Synergy rims when I pump them up, less as the week goes or until they feel too soft. Mostly sidewall squish if I turn sharply low speed or the odd thing or edge in the wheel's path that makes me feel a thud. Truly remarkable addition to my Ramboui

The Stampede Pass is a 32mm tire. You're going to need a good bit more pressure with a tire that narrow than you will for a 38mm tire. On 07/26/2016 02:29 PM, Tim Gavin wrote: I'm 220 lbs, and I use 45-50 psi front and 55-60 psi rear in my 38 mm supple tires (Lierre, Pari Moto, et al). I star
