will give slightly different readings..


Even more inconvenient: If you fill the tire with CO2 and ride
Joerghian-style, leading wild lions out of a suddenly burning forest, the
pressure will rise like a hockey stick, and the tires' inevitable explosion
will damage the vulnerable ecosystem!

What I meant was, I understand if it says 65psi
then that is the max, *but* is this to be
understood as a digit obtained in a controlled
lab setting with a brand new tube and tire, or
do people actually put in 65psi and use it?


Maybe with very high loads or (more likely) in a desperate attempt at
lowering a noisy knobby tire's rolling resistence.

I run mine over the max PSI at the rear, and can comfortable get 100 PSI
into them. Exploded one once, poor fitting tbf.


Contis are supposed to be rated at half the (mean?) explosion pressure, but
exceed Schwalbe's max PSI at your and your blast-proof bike shed's own risk.
