Just bought a Cube Cross Race 2018. Link to the bike below.

Could people advise on the suggested tyre pressure for riding on road. I weigh 11stones.

Thanks

Between 90-110ish PSI... Depends on tyre width and types of road you ride on.

Just experiment and see what you prefer.

There's a useful chart here - recommended pressures by wheel loading and tyre width.
Personally I find on long rides my bum appreciates slightly lower pressures!

I find my cross bike quite uncomfortable to ride with 28mm Conti 4 seasons even at those lower pressures. I invariably find myself riding around on 35mm gravel tyres at 35psi. Maybe I'm a minute slower per 15 miles commute but it feels lush and its' fine for bombing along bridleways and unmade tow paths when required. It also means that tubeless sealant stands half a chance of working. High pressure road tubeless is a waste of time and unneeded weight.
