new tyres didnt feel right
Last weekend I got my new tyres on my bike(whoopee),and they definatly
felt so much better.However 50 miles later they just didnt feel quite right.Ten minutes later at the fuel station I knew why.51 psi in the front and 55psi in the back.How can a profesional tyre fitter get it so wrong when it is printed on the chain guard.If they cant get somthing as basic as that right then god help us. Does anyone on here have any idea how dangerous that amount of pressure is? |

Re: new tyres didnt feel right
Did you check the tyres cold, or straight after you hopped off the back from a 50 mile ride?

Must have been overinflated when stone cold, but not to a degree that they were so noticable when ridden for the first few miles. Then the pressures build as they heated up, and the difference was felt? |

Re: new tyres didnt feel right
You mean apart from the tyre not being able to flex properly when going round corners lent over ? Meaning an extremely high risk of the front washing out due to lack of traction? Nothing really. Any sort of distance and you would have worn out your tyre extremely quickly.
