Having only a fairly new and efficient mountain bike, i have taken to only using the thing on longish road rides - and not taking the thing offroad. I'm planning on getting a road bike in a few months - but until then, since i am only on the road the whole time, i have inflated the tyres to obviously high pressures.
I'm not exactly sure what the point of over-inflating exactly is (what psi figure), but IF i have overinflated them, what is the danger? Aside from bursting an inner tube?
Does it put more pressure on the rims? Could i have a catastrophic failure at high speeds? What is the problem?
