How many psi should I keep the pressure in the front and rear wheels for this bike?
1095836
Recommended tire pressures, regardless of manufacturer, make, model, etc., are always printed/embossed on the tire itself. Bicycle tires are generally around 32 psi.

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.

Front wheel, peddles, seat and handlebars. Tires need air. Need metric wrench to adjust brake calipers.

Do not exceed the wheel's maximum rated pressure. If the maximum pressure for the wheel prohibits the increase of air pressure, then maximum speed must be restricted to 65 mph (104 km/h). With proper inflation, maximum speed should be 75 mph or less.

my manual says to keep them between 8-10 pounds of pressure. Hope this helps.

My compressor has two gauges. One is for tank pressure and one is for output pressure. They both need to be above 30 psi. However, I usually set both of mine so they are about 70 psi so I can fill up my bike tires. The higher the output pressure, the faster the tire fills.

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 wish I could give an exact answer but this seems to be only listed by few bike manufacturers. SO my research says most bikes are good for 250 pounds to 300 pounds. A chart I looked at said the same for tires. THe tires on this bike are supposed to carry 50 to 75 lbs. of air. My wife is 190 and I set the pressure to 50 lbs which seems to ride fine. Just my opinion but I think you would be fine maybe add more air, also these tires are 700 x 38 which are not real skinny. Hope this helps.!

Mine was all pressurized and ready to go. I may have checked prior to placing into service. Use an air pressure gauge suitable for 0 to 15 PSI. Check it against specs, it you need to increase pressure, use a hand pump, like a bicycle tire pump - caution do not exceed max pressure.

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 farmilia with the metric. all pressures should be taken cold

90 PSI on the compressor will work well. Anything higher than your target inflation number will be fine.

ONLY UP TO 150 PSI. Most front shocks require half your body weight and most rear shocks require your full body weight in 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...

For me, 25th provides a better ride. I also inflate them to a lower psi than what is recommended. I run the rear tire at 90 psi and the front at 90psi. I think that set up provides me a better ride especially on roads that have been chip sealed. Mike

I'm not sure of the exact pressure, however I do have road bike tires and I was able to fill my tire (from flat) to be able to finish my ride without noticing any change in pressure. The tire was hard and I did have CO2 left over, although I don't know how much. After every emergency use I re-pack a new cartridge. I always keep two in my saddle bag.

yes, they are a heavy strong wheel so the tube/tire should be nice and tight, as in able to hold a high PSI. nice and hard. these can handle a 28 for sure. like I said these wheels are heavy, but strong and VERY steady, as in stable. no wobble like with light wheels. So once you get going fast you keep going very fast. Great to use as your rear wheel if you use only one.

The problem is the mesh back comes apart with a lot of pressure. The bike is otherwise great. My husband weighs 185 and the pressure he put on the mesh back has broken twice. We are on our third mesh back. He put clamps on the sides of the seat to hold the rubber gasket and staples in place. The rest of the bike would accommodate a much heavier person.
