I know a lot of this will be "it depends" but I'll ask anyway.
I am guessing it'll be depending how heavy you are, the surface you're cycling on & they're just the two obvious variables that I can think of. Perhaps weather conditions. I suspect there'll be god knows how many more.
Tried having a search but got very wishy washy responses really. Basically I'm looking to see what I should be inflating the tyres to rather than just putting them to somewhere a bit below maximum 'just because'.
I'd have to go outside & check to be 100% but I'm fairly sure my tyres are 700x35c. The bike is a Trek FX2 hybrid bought in 2017.
I cycle pretty much on the road for 99%. That 1% may be me having to go over a bit of rough ground as I pass from 1 section of road to another but generally it's just your standard road surface. Some good quality, some not so good.
I weigh about 170lbs & put about 80psi in the rear with 70psi up front. Again I'd have to go outside and check to be 100% sure but i think the max is 90psi.
There's surely a (loose guide) formula for it so that I'm not asking the exact same question when I buy an actual road bike as the hybrids replacement?
Just wondered how you figure it out is all.
