I was going to ask "how much pressure" to put in? then I decided to actually look at the tyres
My road bike tyres are 700x23 Kevlar and state 125 PSI
My hybrid has 700x42 and state 50 PSI...........such a big difference???
(You might assume that with me having 2 bikes I should know but I have only just started using them)
Since being a kid I have simply 'squeezed' the tyres to tell if they had enough air in them.......now I have decided to do it right (another blush) in which case I need a pump with a guage. They seem to be called track pumps (anyone know why?)
In Decathlon they are rated by psi but as every model seems to exceed my requirements does it matter which one ? Are the bigger psi faster/easier?
There is one called the Btwin 'Clever' which will do 2 types of valve (do I assume one is high pressure and the other is MTB type?) but they all seem to do both types.........the Btwin is £25.00....any sugggestions?
Thanks in advance.
