  • Victoria new tyre pressure calculator

    From Roger Merriman@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 24 16:18:14 2025

    Or <https://int.vittoria.com/pages/tire-pressure>

    I have to say despite the article and guff it’s well out of normal ranges particularly for MTB pressures, at my weight and use, 20psi is way too low,
    the sidewalls would start rolling and I’d be touching the rim as soon as I started to push on.

    Seems broadly speaking within normal range for road bikes, and oddly rather high for commuting type use!

    Others seem much closer.

    It recommended 30psi for my gravel bike, but I run nearer 40psi and know
    that at 30 I would get many pinch flats.


    The Victoria one is definitely giving much too low estimates it gave 35psi
    I think for my gravel bike which being tubeless wouldn’t be pinch flat but more likely rim damage unless I was quite careful!

    The other two give much more sensible suggestions.
