I feel sorry for them myself

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Thanks for all your replies - will try the front slightly lower.

Plenty of air in them as they are 32mm Schwalbe Marathon Supremes.

A bit like Endomondonfor your tyres but more precise.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

100 psi front & rear on the road bike (they only need to take 11 stone).
I think it was 35 psi on my mtb front & rear at the weekend, but I don't often check any tyres. they are a fit & forget option of my cycling life. they last and are rarely visited by a fairy - last visit December 2011...
as for the tourer, well think they were about 20psi over the max the tyres stated and fully laden as well

If you are running as low as 35 psi you risk getting 'pinch punctures'. The tube could also move around seperating the valve from it.

 

[DWiggy]

120psi on both, have to top up mid week as the loose around 20-30psi and I really notice the difference.
700c 23 - 11.7 stone rider

 

[GrasB]

On a road bike I ride on a 23c front & 25c rear, lowest rolling resistance on anything other than the smoothest tarmac comes from 90-95psi front & rear for me.

 

[SquareDaff]

On the road bike (700x23) - around 110psi
On the CX (700x35) - around 65psi.

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

100 in both and at 16 1/2 stone on a Brompton's 16 inch wheels, every psi is needed. If they drop below 85 psi, the bikes gets even more sluggish.
