Resources: getting your tyre pressure right
Tyre pressure is the cheapest performance change on a bike, and the one most riders get wrong. Our new tyre pressure resource covers why it matters in a couple of minutes of reading, and sends you to SILCA's Pro Tire Pressure Calculator — the most rigorous public tool for working out your own number.
- Why pressure matters — the breakpoint, why running slightly under costs far less than running over, and why the answer is specific to you rather than to your tyre
- What to have ready — the measurements the calculator asks for, so you get a useful answer first time
- The longer version — a full guide on the blog covering the research behind it, and where any calculator stops being able to help
