Pressure for Vredestein Slicks?

I have been running mine at 110 PSI, and have not had any problems. I know 110 PSI mite be pushing
it a bit, but usually they are under-rated. I too would like to hear what other users set the
pressure at. LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!!!

Anybody using 110? 120?

I top mine off at 115. Re-air when the pressure bleeds down to about
80.

Same here at 100psi. Don't see a reason to push it beyond that. What would 110-120 psi gain for you
relative to the increased risk of a blow-out? If you must have higher pressure, I'd go with
something like a Stelvio.

I am running 70 pounds in my Scwalbe Marathons. I get a smoother ride than I did with 100 pounds.

A friend of mine runs at 120 pounds on his older DF. His rear axle breaks every few months from the
pounding. I can just imagine what his butt must feel like.

My wife had some tires on her DF that would take 150 psi, so she tried it. The tires might have been
able to take it, but the tubes would blow out on a regular basis!

We both now run Stelvios at 120 on our V2s, and love the low rolling resistance. Which is why I
was wondering about increasing the pressure on my S-licks that I run on my Vision VR-42. The VR-42
is a very comfortable ride, but feels a bit slow (duh) compared with the V2. I tried going from
100 to 110, and it felt faster. Since it is fully suspended I don't notice any increased harshness
in the ride.
