    Hi, looking for some advice on tyre pressure. I'd have always been a 120psi man with my road tyres, the max written on the tyre. Recently bought Zipps and they say 115-145psi and 115-200(!!) psi. Has anyone here ever raced with 200psi in their tyres, am I asking for trouble?
    Thanks

    No benefit to going to 200, especially on our roads. Madness. I ride 110 on my clinchers and usually 120 on tubs.

    did Joey Hannon on the course at 220psi.

    very uncomfortable plus I know know better that higher is not faster.


    psi depends on your weight really
