Many thanks!
So how close to max psi should you go? My calculated psi is like 110psi and the max for the particular tire is 120. Should I have gone with a higher rated(?) tire?
...this is all too complicated. I just want to get on my bike and riiiiiide!

PW,
Your chart is super! I have always wondered what inflation amount I should use. I always heard that I should make them 100-110 to avoid flats but based on "the chart", I should be about 96, so though 100 is close to it, I am often just "pumping up" and go to 110 or 115. I guess I will use the 100 and see how it goes.
Thank you so much for this very informative piece of information.
I love this forum!!!
