@@lennymclean. On my road bike I run 120 front and 130 rear in the summer. Winter (or wet) 110/120. On a warm summer Sunday I get my tubular wheels out and run 160 front and 170-180 rear. That rules tubeless out before we even get to the faff...
@@bicycleguruforgive my ignorance but are those numbers the psi you are running? If so that seems higher than I've seen the maximum inflation on the tyre wall, which on mine is 115. I run 85 rear and 75 front on a 25mm schwalbe lugano all year round. I'm pretty light though, like 62kg and I like hills 🙂
@@lennymclean. I surely don't weigh 62kg as you can probably tell from the video. In my heart I am a racer having got as far as representing Australia in my youth. I ride Schwalbe One in the summer, recommended max 130psi, Schwalbe Durano Plus - max 145psi from the sidewalls of actual tyres. My tubulars are at home so check now, but the online numbers for Vittoria Corsa tubular tyres is max 175-200psi. The online numbers for the Schwalbe tyres were both lower than the sidewalls of mine. I was quite surprised the 'winter' tyres had a much higher max than the 'race' clinchers...
Tubeless rims are wonderful things up until they puncture or the sealant fails and then you wish you'd gone with an inner tube setup.
Couldn't agree more... you can't beat a good old fashioned tube. If I ever rode tubeless I'd probably still take a tube with me...
@@bicycleguru what sort of tyre inflation setup do you use for general road riding?
