I run mine as a daily - mixture of country lane and motorway. I have been running 32 f and 40 r. Also running with Twisted progressive suspension. Going away next week so need to give it a quick check over and realised that didn't actually know what air pressure the tyres needed.

Was hoping that there would be a common answer. I will try different pressures.
Thanks for replies |

I guess the problem you have is all the different setups and uses people have. Mine is a 90 CSW, but I have removed all the rear seats, carry no load and typically only me in it.
Harder tyre pressures make for a bumpy ride, hence 30/30 for me. When I do load up the rear, usually with logs, it's a very different ride, actually feels better, but my arches are then almost at tyre level. Find your typical loading, pump the tyres up to 40 all round, then keep letting air out every couple of miles til it feels right might be a good experiment |
