Tire pressure recommendations for 700x32 Bontrager Race Light Hard Case Tires
I realize that the more pressure the "harder" you feel the bumps--but the speed improves. I have a Trek FX 7.3. I am 5'10" and weigh 145-150. Just curious what other riders inflate these size tires for "normal" riding. My normal is 20-60 mile rides avg14-15 mph on mostly country roads. No off road. Thanks. Nick

The sidewall will tell you 110, but from my own experimenting with my 7.3fx over the last week i'd say 85psi rear/80 front is probably good.

I take them all the way up to 110psi on my 7.5FX - I guess the carbon fork helps with the bumps. But I weigh 190.
