If you are wanting maximum performance, tyres need to be towards the higher level of their recommended pressure. If you are planning a steady long plod of a ride, why not drop pressure to the lower end of the recommended pressure range &#8211; this will improve ride comfort and reduce any aches and pains &#8211; especially over poorly maintained roads.<\/p>\n<h2>Terrain<\/h2>\n<p>If you are heading off-road, tyre pressures are super important for grip and comfort. If grip is likely to be an issue, drop pressure down lower &#8211; BUT, still hard enough to avoid pinch punctures. Different gravel tracks can vary hugely, from 1 inch mini-boulder loose gravel, to fine, sandy, compacted gravel. Unfortunately gravel rides can involve various types of gravel &#8211; the best option is to aim for mid-range pressures and avoid the really rough stuff. Alternatively, stop to drop or raise pressures as needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Lezyne Steel Floor Pump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/lezyne-steel-floor-drive-87523.html\">\u00a327.50<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Weight<\/h2>\n<p>Heavier riders will need more pressure in tyres than lighter riders, to have the same grip and rolling resistance.<\/p>\n<h2>Weather<\/h2>\n<p>In wet or icey conditions where you need good grip, run pressures lower &#8211; But, still hard enough to avoid pinch punctures.
