I know there are plenty of threads on tires and tire pressure, but I’m wondering if things change for us bigger men & women.
Is a fast tire a fast tire, regardless of rider weight? If so I’m between gp4000’s and s-works turbos unless someone wants to sell me on something else.
Plan is 25mm because I don’t think my frame is going to clear 28mm, but is there a good test for measuring? I have calipers, but is the measurement to check the width of the fork and rear wheel well or is it the depth of the rear well?
Last but not least, am I stuck at max pressure as a 240# rider? Running latex, but worried about pinch flats at lower pressures. Currently I do run 115-120 on front and rear.
Help me out please! Ironman Lake Placid is only 7 weeks away!
