Marathon XR 40 mm - what tyre pressure to use.

[albion]

Some of xmas free time was spent building my first ever wheel.
So for better or worse I have decided to run some Marathon XRs I recently bought on them.
The new 700c rear is now set at 60 psi for the 40mm tyre.

Anyone else with these and what pressure are you preferring
The bike will be used 80% road, 20% trail.

I guess when they say 50 to 95psi the 50psi is set cautiously high.
Using the above it is interesting that heavy riders are better off not using 23mm tyres.

60psi for my average weight seems about right.
