I'm curios if there are any out there that have done some thinking about tire pressure as an overweight rider.
I'm 6'1 and about 280lbs. It seems to me that 90psi to a 180lb rider is likely going to be different than it would to be for a 280lb rider. I can only assume that the lower the pressure the more road surface contact and the more work needed to turn the pedal.
Conversely it also seeks an overweight rider is putting more stress on a highly inflated tire. I currently keep my back tire at 110psi and front at about 100psi
Do any hefty fellers out there go with higher pressure or am I just overthinking it.
