No problem. My first experience owning carbon wheels so I’m still learning too.
With the AR 58/62 wheels, in addition to the front wheel being a slightly shallower section, the front wheel is slightly narrower than the rear, thus the 23mm front/25mm rear tire sizes.
I’ve been riding my tube tire road bikes at or near maximum pressure for years so it was an adjustment process for me to put less pressure in. The max pressure for my Conti’s is 120 psi. and I initially rode them at that.
After a lot of experimenting and testing with the tubeless tires I’ve seemed to settle on 90 rear and 85 front. Performance seems to be identical or nearly identical and it is a lot more comfortable ride. The Aeroad is Canyon’s race frame and it’s really stiff so the lower pressures in the tires is a real plus.
