175 lb pump
I just got new tires which need 175 lbs. I can't seem to locate a floor pump
that will go that high. The shop that installed the tires said that they use a pump that will go to 160 lb and then give it 4 more pumps. Anyone dealing with this? Richard |

I hope this is a track bike (that's one hard tire - ouch! ) D'ohBoy |

175 lb pump
The gauge on my Serfas track pump goes to 260psi. But I've never tried
putting more than 110psi in a tyre with it. "Sparky" wrote in message .. . I just got new tires which need 175 lbs. I can't seem to locate a floor pump that will go that high.

Richard No one ever need 175psi in their tires, I bet you have some Conti Tubular tires which have a MAX pressure of 175psi. I ride Conti Sprinters and never inflate to more then 110-120psi and I weigh 195 pounds............... |

The pressure printed on the tire refers to the maximum pressure allowed for that tire, not wat you probably need. Cornering on bad pavement would be terrible with that kind of pressure.

For pavement, lower still and for Paris-Roubaix, about half your 175psi is right. If they're clinchers (e.g. Conti GP Supersonic 20c is rated 170psi max), your rims might explode before the tyre does (e.g. Ksyrium Elite is rated 146psi for a 19mm tyre and 138psi for a 23) Kinky Cowboy* *Batteries not included May contain traces of nuts Your milage may vary |
