I’m asking as I’m guessing the extra weight of a tandem calls for different pressure?
On our Comotion Macchiato, Spinergy TX2, Conti 4000 II, 28 mm wheels and about 310lb combined team weight, I used to run at 115 psi, but recently dropped the pressure to 90-100 for more comfort. I'm staying with that. I would think that with 32 mm, you could use 90 psi or even less.
