No wonder. They should be 66 lb at the most. I have 584 x 38 SMP on my 3 speed CCM. They just float along when I do centuries.
For 35c x 700, 70 front/ 72 rear lbs is plenty too.
For my next tour I bought E Marathons. Hoping they will be better. SMPs let me down a few times lately. Staples so small I had a hard time seeing them.
