I purchased two of these tubes and no where on the box does it say how many lbs of air or psi to inflate in tire. Does anyone know?

If I remember... it gives a wide range for 45-60. When I pumped it up on my mountain bike, mid 50s was perfect for me.

I agree with Kristoffer. I have 26x1.95" tires on my bike and they say inflate to 45-60psi, so I tend to go around 55psi.

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

They are air filled. I've had to patch the tube twice and replaced a tire in two years. The problem is when a flat occurs I don't have time to repair it right away. The compressor gets dragged to a few more jobs and that's what ruined the tire. I'm thinking about switching them out next time I have a problem. compressor still running strong.

I used a couple different ones. They all blew. Trick is to deflate 10 lbs below recommended psi. If you call the company they will give you a few new inner tubes. They are probably hoping a law suit doesn't happen. Oh yeah and just tell the tire shop the numbers on the side of tire and they will find the right inner tube.

That has not been a problem with me. When I unscrew the inflation hose from the tire valve stem a small amount of air comes out, but on a car tire it makes no difference in pressure. Maybe there is something wrong with your pump that you should speak to the manufacturer about.

The tire is designed for high pressure, but it isn't necessary to inflate to a high pressure. Here are a couple of websites with information you might be interested in. http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t;=89153 and http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com/images/TireDrop.pdf I run 80 front and 120 rear which is actually higher than the chart recommends for my weight, but that way I can go a week without checking the tire pressure. There is a huge increase in comfort and negligible difference in rolling resistance. These are good tires.

I'm not sure of min or max pressure, or even if my infltator pressure gauge is accurate, but I inflate to 35psi and it's about rock hard. I'm pretty sure most bike tires have enough variance to allow for the environment they will be traveling. It's not rocket science.

I assume 58 PSI is the max printed on the tire? I notice that on the Continental website two 26 x 1 1/2 tires have 50 - 65 PSI and two have 45 - 58 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...

Hello, I have a release valve pressure gauge on my unit. When I press to button air is released into the tire. I read the new pressure and decide if the ire needs more air or not. If air is not being released try pressing the small valve at the stem? If air does not come out then you have a problem with the hose connector. Hope that helps. The unit has work fine for me.

Mine blew on the first trip. I bought tube on line and put it into the tire. It has worked fine since then.

mine said 700c x 25 and my tire was 700c x 25 and the tube was much larger than 700c. Im not sure about the 25-32mm we never got that far,it was much larger than the wheel.

Tube is approximately 4 inches wide, 8 inches inside diameter, 16 inches outside diameter. It is a bit smaller than this until inflated. I wouldn't use it in a tire smaller than this, it would wrinkle and someday in the distant future fail at the wrinkles. It will stretch to fit tires a bit larger (an inch or so m/l in any direction).

You would need to order two. In my case, even if I ordered two, they came in separate boxes. And one was twisted into a figure-8 so it would fit in a smaller box. I returned that one because it looked like there was permanent deformation. One of the other reviewers said there is metal in the construction that requires the tire to be shipped flat.

I've used it and check the pressure once I finished the ride (30mi. Post flat) and read 115. Remember, this is a rescue tool. Let the CO2 out of the tube when you get back to a pump and pump the tire with air. CO2 molecule is smaller and leaks thru the tube faster than air.

it is written on the side of every tire manufactured in the us. check the sidewall for a box saying maximum reccomended load xxxx kg at xx kpa xxxx lbs a xx psi only use the us units unless you are farmiliaR with the metric. all pressures should be taken cold

The previous answers tell you where to find the correct psi. I have filled the tubes to between 85 and 95psi depending on my tires - 700x35 thorn resistant tires. The tubes if not punctured last about 18 mo and commonly, for me, fail at the base of the valve stem.
