Fitting tyres aesthetically on a road bike

[youngoldbloke]

I will not!

I like the logo more or less equidistant. Depending on how resilient they are hopefully I won't be needing to change tubes often.

Can't you tell that by using a long valve tube & being just off the R in "Gatorskin" in reality I'm not too bothered about the aesthetics.

Good laugh on this thread though. Still not sure if inflated right though - any guides?

The 'R' lined up with the valve gives you the reference point - you've done fine - it was Eddy's post I was responding to. (I run Gatorskins at 100psi front, 110psi back).

I put the valve under the left hand side of the r in the logo on my bike as it sort of centers the whole graphic then.

And let's not start a debate about how the heck do you know if the pressure gauge on your pump is accurate or not!!

you attach it to a calibrated pressure gauge set used for pressure testing cooling unit pipework "just to see" not that i might have mild OCD or anything like that .

And which machine calibrates that machine to know if it's accurate!

This reminds me of the league of Gentlemen clip where the cleaning brushes are explained....

And?

the lower the pressure the worse the accuracy for that particular guage . at 100 Psi the calibrated guage was reading 97 psi
