> * Higher tire pressure is faster
For semi-professionals sure this is a myth for normal road surfaces, but for every day use by normal people with no knowledge whatsoever putting just over 2 bar in their wheels since that is what their cars use you definitely win efficiency, al lot.
- laputan_machine 5y agoIf I used 32psi in my bicycle tyres I'd be getting pinch flats all the time! I run 35x700c marathon plus', which requires a minimum of 65psi [4 bar] (https://www.schwalbe.com/en/tour-reader/marathon-plus https://www.schwalbe.com/en/tour-reader/marathon-plus) Maybe for mountain bike tyres that advice works well.
