Road bike tyre pressure

[defy-one]

100 psi on the roadies
70 psi on the spesh

Max pressure is comfortable for me, and hopefully alleviates any punctures from a flatter Tyre although it seems they may not be any quicker rolling as i initially thought. Which means having slightly lower pressure may mean they are not slower either but possibly more comfortable. A bit irrelevant seeing as I'm comfy on the bike currently. I suppose each to their own. Food for thought though and i will try out a few combinations just to put my mind at ease.

At 85kg I go for 80psi front, 100 rear without any problem. Low rolling resistance, too judging by group rides altho' maybe it's just being the heaviest rider.

I put 130 psi in mine once and it blew up

82kg, with the 25mm and 28mm tyres I normally use 7 bar back, 6.5 bar front

On the odd occasion I've used 23mm, 7.5 bar front and back

120psi front and back on mine (75kg) and Susie's (less). Carbon forks both.

A long time ago there was a tyre called National Panaracer that you could run at 160psi, provided the rims could take it. Worked for me.
