I think I will stick with 33/36 for now as like Ape says its a personal thing, and I do feel very comfortable on those pressures

I just really wanted to see if anybody had found a setup that worked better than the standard 33/36

Cheers for your replies everybody

Um, mine are D204 (although pretty worn) - I found 33/36 to "squishy" and 36/42 skittish, so went 35/38 and all seems well. I'm 11 stone but quite often have luggage on the bike.

Hope this helps,

MT

Default 38/40

38/40??

Bet that is fun in the corners. I found that dropping it a bit gave me quite a bit more grip. As far as I know, I'm running the standard position on the rear preload. Being a bit of a newb, I'm not overly keen on really quick steering. I will be replacing them in a couple of months anyway as they're heading towards the limits, are pretty square and I hear a set of Z6s calling me.

Have fun,

MT
