Tire pressure check
It’s been a few weeks since I got the new tire and I decided I should check the pressure this morning. It was almost 50PSI!! It’s only rated for 36. I guess that shows it’s a well made tire considering I’ve been abusing it and hitting all manner of bumps. I lowered the pressure to 36PSI and the ride is not as squirrelly now. Before it felt like I was riding on a narrow ridge, which essentially I was.
Then I check the front tire for the first time (it doesn’t take much abuse since there isn’t much weight on it, it just hits the bumps first. It was down to 25 so I pumped it back up to 36. It rides much better now.
