What pressures are you running your 28mm's at?
Moderator: robbosmans
Got some 28mm clinchers on for the first time, but I'm not seeing anything definitive about the pressure to run 'em at.
Usually run 25mm's and kinda able to go by feel now, though 85/80, give or take a bit depending on what I'm doing or how much risk I feel like taking. I usually weigh between 75 to 80kg.
What sort of pressures you guys had success with. I'm hoping for a cushier ride

25mm Vittoria Open clinchers, 23mm rims, 115psi....64kg
If it hurts your butt, you are putting too much weight on your saddle/not pedalling hard enough. My tyres have a minimum written on the side, something like 110psi.

It's pretty good, the wider C38 rim really helps take the squirm out of them at low psi and if I know I'm going to be pushing the pace I'll add 5/10psi to take the little bit of squirm they develop out of the equation but for going out and grinding through Z2 they're perfect in the 60s range.TobinHatesYou wrote:Nefarious86 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 12:43 amSpecialized Roubaix 25/28 on a 22mm internal rim, 33mm actual width and in the mid 60s for psi at 85kg

In saying that I hit near 75km/h this morning with no issues in the dark down the sweeping descent to the Spit bridge.
Everything from rolling kms to A grade Podiums with a simple 10psi adjustment lol. Keen to try the Corsa Control 2.0 once these finally wear out but I'd say I'll be waiting a while at the rate they seem to be wearing.

28mm GP5Ks, measure at 30mm on 20c rims, 80psi front, 90psi rear, 84kg rider. Maybe I could go lower, but they're comfortable and I don't want to risk pinch flats, the roads here can be pretty bad.
