Title: tyre psi - could be a stupid or obvious question!!
Post by: McQUEEN on July 07, 2015, 04:29 PM: I build but never ride, but last night I took my rl20 out, running on panaracer freestyle tyres, and they where struggling under my 14 1/2 stone, even though pumped up to a full 45psi.

I have a set of peregrine freestyle tyres where the psi is 90? would these cope better with my weight?
