    Ahhhhh.. Tire pressure.. Another topic that has received lots of debate around here!! I know the 26x1.75" thick wheels on my cruiser has max 60psi, while the 700c x 32 tires max out at 120psi. I've heard that pinch flats can be caused by too low a pressure and heaved rider. With that said, dh reminded me that most of the rider weight is over the back tire, so I could run at say 80 on the front and 90 in the back and see how that feels.

    Oh, and I don't expect a silky smooth ride out of a $600 bike, but to say it's not ment for the road is a little harsh, many people here use an fx as a daily commuter.
