Tyre Pressures
Can someone tell me the approximate pressure that my tyres should be at for
ordinary cycle track use. My bike's nothing special - a Dawes "One Track" but it does me fine. Thanks in Advance for any help. |

Thanks in Advance for any help. If there is a pressure range marked on the tyre, go for the top end of it. If not, post the type of tyre (makers name and any identifying name or numbers) here and someone may well know. Jon |

Thanks in Advance for any help. Contrary to the usual "pump to max indicated on tyre", try Sheldon's advice. It depends on tyre size, your weight, and to an extent, terrain. http://sheldonbrown.com/tires.html#pressure Question for the regulars: Where else do we hear that the limit is a maximum, not a target ? - Nigel -- Nigel Cliffe, Webmaster at http://www.2mm.org.uk/ |

I know the tyres need topping up when I'm slowing down. That's just for road use, mind.
