You need to split the the total weight by the approximate 40%/60% weight distribution between front and back wheel. Therefore for a total weight of 168 lbs the front tire is based upon 40% * 168 = 67 lbs and the back tire would be 60% * 168 = 100 lbs. Based upon the chart for 23mm tires you would need 65 psi in the front and 100 psi in the back.
Seems a little too squishy for me. Dave R. On Sep 14, 2:54 pm, Logan <[email protected]> wrote: > An interesting article but it is suggesting that I pump my tires up to > around 190 psi.
