[RBW] What'r ye runnin' yer Compass Stampede Pass tire pressures at?

2016-09-05 Thread stonehog
One more data point. I weigh 165 and my bike (AHH) is about 31lbs with normal 
gear. I ran the tires at 40 front and 60 rear, but let them drop to 30/50 on 
occasion before topping them. I have since switched to Bon Jons (35mm), and run 
them about 35/45.

[RBW] What'r ye runnin' yer Compass Stampede Pass tire pressures at?

2016-07-26 Thread 'Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch
All I know is that I'm typing this response with my left arm in a sling with a 
separated shoulder from cornering on a downhill with just barely not enough 
pressure in my Barlow Pass 38mm extra lights.  When I rode 23mm tires on my old 
go fast bikes I was compulsive about keeping my tires rock hard. I love the 
ride of Compass extra light tires. I started with Stampede Pass on my Hilsen 
and have since gone to Barlow Pass, with no loss of performance. And I seek out 
rumble strips on the side of the road just because it is so amazing to float 
over them. Jan had a post awhile back about running lower pressure so I've been 
riding as low as I can before the tires get squishy on corners. But usually I 
check the pressure with a squeeze, only using a gauge on my floor pump when I'm 
adding air.  I think I ride my Stampedes on the Roadeo at around 50psi while I 
can get by with 35-40 on the Barlows on the AHH. But that crash when my tire 
squirmed out from under me really sucked!

I find that below about 50 PSI the tires get “squirmy” when making turns or on 
a winding road. I weigh about 190 and usually run my Stampede Pass tires at 
60-65 PSI. Above that, and the ride quality suffers.

Wondering what is the lowest, cushiest, but still safe pressures people are 
running these tires at?

I don't have much experience with supple 700c tires so wondering.
My only extensive experience on 700c is 120psi 25mm wide Gatorskins and 
Armadillos.
Don't know what to do with the Rivish 700c tires.
I weigh 170.
Road riding. No loads. I want max cush.
