You should be running the lowest usable inflation to save weight anyways. Higher pressure is more weight, and it costs you nothing to inflate to proper pressure. That's like infinity grams per dollar.

Current Silca has nothing to do with the old one.
Just some American that took the name over and with American marketing (which is only blabla) they try to get attention and make money.

That tirepressure has effect on comfort every kid in Europe knows . . . .

Anything Silca is just a complete turn off. The project of buying an Italian name, shipping is to the U.S. and giving it loads of marketing hype ... was just silly.

I was under the impression not improvements have been made under the new ownership. If so, then it is more than simply buying an Italian name.

LoL at the "must read" comment from the OP

I'll summarise for those who can't be bothered:

Marketing 101:

1. Tyre pressure matters and needs to be measured accurately
2. Our pumps measure very accurately

The holy grail would be that competitors' pumps measured inconsistently - i.e. you never
know by how much they will be out ... more testing needed!
