Schwalbe Ultremo tyre pressure .

[Cuchilo]

I notice the max pressure for this is 145 PSI . Anyone run them at that pressure ?
I normally put in 120 psi but I'm wondering if its worth putting in more .

You might start to bounce around at 145 psi depending on your weight , I start bouncing at 120 so changed to 25c and run at 100 psi , am 15 stone.

9 stone and 23c tyres . Bouncing sounds fun

You will need to go to 200 psi before you start bouncing about at 9 stone

oh , I thought you would bounce more if lighter

i'm 100 kilos and have mine at 120psi currently....145 would scare me lol!

Never had them that high, always 100psi for me - they do seem particularly puncture-prone, just swapped mine for Conti GP4000's for the winter. @dhd.evans was saying the same about his yesterday, Not sure if the higher pressure would help, though I doubt it.

so as a lighter rider I could benefit from the extra PSI ?

I have Schwalbe ultremo DD evo's currently on my road bike and I once pumped them up to 130psi as per the tyre.
I was also using latex tubes at the time. I'm 85kg and they both blew up one day after the other.
110psi for me now. That was around 3 months ago and not a puncture since.
I'd say as a lighter rider you would benefit from lower tyre pressures, say around 90psi.

Would say only on a flat surface , on most roads near me it would render the bike unridable even at 9 stone

Just had a look at strictly come dancing for a few seconds . You mean you bounce and not the bike right ?

 

[dhd.evans]

Can confirm, higher psi helps but they are fickle beasts and rather puncture prone. Also, very very slippery when wet.

Ive noticed they are very lively tyres compared to others I have tried .
