what is the REAL recommended PSI for this bike since people say the tires blow out at 100 psi?

Damn I keep mine at 65-70 and Im 210 pounds on a 58cm frame with 700 x 25 stock wheels and tubeEDIT: Today after riding on 60psi for a few days, I increased the PSI to around 80psi. So far, no blowouts. The tires began to feel slow at 60psi once broken in. Now at 80psi, they feel OK.EDIT: 03/12/2014 Now I ride 90 PSI with no problems...

I have generally kept mine at around 95 psi without issue. That's with the stock tires and tubes.

I've been riding mine for about a month with the tires at about 90-95psi with no problems. I saw the comments about blow outs and kept it a little lower for safety's sake.

the recommended tire pressure is printed on the side of the tire. My 700 x 25 has a high pressure rating of 103 psi. The 700 x 23 is probably a little higher, but once again look at the tire!

Recommended tire pressures, regardless of manufacturer, make, model, etc., are always printed/embossed on the tire itself. Bicycle tires are generally around 32 psi.

You made me look...the specs on the Serfas site are correct. I own one, and even though the gauge on this pump reads up to 160 psi, the tag attached to mine listed it as being rated at 100 psi. This is fine for MTB or "fat-tire" bikes, but if you have a narrow tire or racing bike, there are better choices, putting it simply.

Error on the safe side. Take your tires to 110 and check with a different gauge and you will be happy.

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

the PSI rating depends on the tire. Usually for heavy duty high way trucks, the rating is between 95 and 110 PSI.

The info page takes its data from the manual, which says 250 max PSI. Whether it's capable of doing that, I dunno, as I've only pumped up tires and sports equipment with it. Tires take a while to get to 55 (probably around 5 to 15 minutes from 0-10 PSI), so I can only imagine it would take near forever to get those shocks to 200. If the manual is to be believed, the CH would do what you need.

I have 700x25c tires and can get a single tire to 100 psi give or take a few lbs. It definitely inflates the tire well enough to safely finish your ride. You can only really inflate one tire per cartridge.

70 psi is normal for that size tube. I have a Cannondale quick cx and that is the psi I ride at.

The tires are Pneumatic. Tire pressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tires, and 25 psi on the front.Bill Keene 954-421-3169

120 psi. Cfm are very low. This thing can not keep up with most basic tasks, ideal for inflating tires and shooting a couple nails. But really, save your money and get something nicer by any other brand.

I typically filled mine to 90-100 psi, and one of them developed a bulge and I'm having to buy a replacement. Two other reviewers have noted similar findings (search on "bulge" in reviews). So I'd keep the pressure on the lower end of recommended for these, or even a bit under. I'll probably be filling them to 70-80 psi from here on. That will lead to a bit more pinch-flat risk, but hopefully will reduce the risk of tire failure.

You need a 26 x 1.95 but a lot of tubes run 26 x 1.75-2.2 or something like that as long as the goes to 1.95 your fine, I got the slime tube at the same time I got the from amazon. The max psi is 65psi, that's what is stamped on the tire and the min is 40psi. I rode them on 40psi and they where fine and I filled them to 65psi and they where even better. If you get the slime tubes fill them a little bit until they are rounded before you put them on to help prevent pinching and then fill them with the valve opposite the ground and adjust the psi the same way to prevent the slime from blocking the valve and oozing out.

I have 245 70R19.5 tires on my RV that I inflate to 100 PSI. I tested my 400P-RV from 40 PSI to 100 PSI and it took about 7 minutes. Based on my experience, I'd say it would accomplish 55-75 PSI in 2-3 minutes in your similarly sized tires.

The gauge reads up to 160 psi but the label on the side states that the maximum working pressure is 120 psi. I have used it on bike tires for 100 psi but use it mostly on car tires. It can overheat and shutdown if doing tires one after another but if I let it run not connected to a tire for a couple of minutes, it seems to cool it down enough to keep from overheating.

I have 700c on my hybrid. I think its a compromise tire. I toured Idaho this year and was able to leave other road bikes at will. My only complaint is that i think the tires i got from the Amazon seller were old stock with dry rot after just one year.
