Patrick 15% TDC pressures for a 32mm El Pass for YOUR 200# Total Weight (175+25) is 52/64 psig F/R. So YES 65/70 psig F/R would be HIGH 13 psig high in F 6 psig high in R.
The rear is reasonable. The front probably could lose 10 psig. >From the responses in another post on Tire Prressure, 2 or 3 members crashed due to collapse tires from UNDERINFLATION. They were generally more than 25% under inflated, i.e., actual pressure was << 75% of 15% TDC pressure via Berto. I feel if you religiously maintain pressures >= 75% of the 15% TDC pressure, you will be safe from collapsing tires, yet enjoy the benefits of lower pressure,i.e., a good compromise John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Sunday, September 11, 2016 at 6:45:52 PM UTC-4, Patrick Moore wrote: > Thanks, John.
