Tire pressure?
Quote | Reply
Hi,

Norseman coming up this weekend with the usual weather forecast of low temps and rain :) Heat records have been broken over the last two weeks here in Norway, but extreme triathlons are not done in sunshine!

So I'm wondering what pressure I should ride. 77kg on a 2014 Trek speed concept with zipp 808 fc tubulars. Vittoria sc tires.

The course is pretty much either straight up or hard descents.
Suggestions?

How should pressure be changed as width and diameter change? Say, on a 650?

Other than to use what you have trained with for the usual good reasons, it is common to lower pressure for wet conditions..

I am same mass and same bike as you, but with likely different weight balance front to rear, but in general, dry is 100FR, 110RR for 23mm GP4000s on 700C on an Aeolus wheelset (wider)
I dropped 5 psi front and rear for wet IM, noting that with latex inner tubes I would loose a few more PSI on course as well.. this is for typical road surface, NOT chip seal, and not heaven sent hotmix....
