hi have the above bent , just wondering what the correct front and rear tyre pressures are ??? thanks Neil

Tyre pressure range will be written on the side wall of each tyre, and varies entirely between tyres, widths, tread patterns, intended usage, manufacturers and personal preference.

Personally, I run them hard, as the SMGTe has front/rear suspension to suck up the bumps.

If the declared range of pressure is 55 - 80psi (for example), I normally put it at about 75.

Front and rear will likely vary, and all tubes lose pressure over time.

The higher the tyre pressure the lower the rolling resistance is on smooth tarmac but the more road buzz you'll get on rough.
And visa versa.
The wider the tyre the lower the pressure they tend to run at.

On my Trice Q with 40-406 Marathon Racers the recomended pressure range is 55-85 psi.
I started them hard at 80-85 psi.
But at that pressure I was feeling the bumps to much on rough tarmac.
So I lowered the pressure and now run them at minimum pressure (55 psi) as thats the most comfortable.

So its a bit trial and error.
Start hard and if thats to uncomfortable, lower the pressure.

Luck ..........
