Just getting back into cycling after many years break. Have bought a bike with the above size tyres on them and they are marked as having a max of 110 psi in them.
Having read few threads on here it would seem that given my current weight I should start by upping them to say 120 in the back and 110 in the front and see how it goes, maybe letting some out if the ride is too harsh. Is this right? Are the indicated maximum's only a guide and always have a margin of error based on the cautious side? Not sure if brands come into this but they are Bontrager if that make a difference.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
