Young Eds' 15psi tyre! :O

[buggi]

Ed... What does it say on the rim of the tyre? That is the true pressure.

 

[buggi]

mine is 145 psi max pressure

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

That is saying at 1 bar check that the tyre is located in the rim properly.

You then inflate it fully

Ed - try pumping the tyre pressure up to close to whatever the maximum is on your tyres. You'll suddenly be a lot quicker

^^^^ What they said. You'll be amazed at how much better the bike is to ride.

I'm scared to commute to work in the morning incase Ed drives and has a car with a 130mph speedo

Improbable, given that @young Ed is about 15 years old ... the future generation of cyclists

 

[young Ed]

thats why i felt sluggish and unwilling to push on, on my 25ish mile ride reccently!
me letting it slip what tyre pressure i was on created prob near on 100 posts and potentially saved me my rim and even stopped me giving up cycling due to being disheartened from that last slow ride
Cheers Ed

 

[young Ed]

ai dont worry im not even 15 yet come 2nd of janary i will be though and you know iv'e got my eye on that garmin tourer gps am now accepting donations! :P

No it doesn't!

It says inflate to 15 PSI and seal into place with your laser vision.....

Any track pump, but the Joe Blow range are very highly regarded by all who use them.

Any of that style but the joe blow is very good. mine is years old and still going strong.

One thing, you had a bit of pi** taking and didnt get all stroppy over it, so fair play on ya and enjoy the next ride with a inflated tyre(s).
