Yep, put in 120psi...
When you do get your pump don't just whack the pressures straight up to maximum/120psi, put them at something suitable for your weight and tyre size.Gatorskins make a fine back tyre, but I won't have one on the front.

Depends on quality of roads you ride on & weight of rider
I'm 65Kg and run my tyres around 95psi in Wilts, the roads are st quality and the top layer is very broken and rough
In Cornwall the roads were much much smoother so went upto 120psi
I'd start @ 90 psi and work up until you find a happy medium

So, the pump has arrived complete with complimentary bag of haribo - I love wiggle.. anyway both tyres were at 70 psi. I've banged them up to 120 for now and will see what they are on Monday. Not had chance to see what difference it makes on a ride but im hoping for good things.
the difference will be very significant with twice the pressure!Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
