Drillium Dude , I don't mean to question your need, desire, or preference for high PSIs, but please enlighten me.

I ask because I'm currently running on the road bikes I'm riding regularly:
  1. 24mm Tufo tubular-clinchers at 80-85 psi rear and 70-75 psi front.
  2. 25mm Vittoria Rally tubulars at 75-80 psi rear and 65-70 psi front.
  3. 24mm Vittoria Corsa tubulars at 80-85 psi rear and 70-75 psi front.
  4. 28mm Schwalbe One tubulars at 70-80 psi rear and 60-70 psi front.
Currently I'm tipping the scales at about 220lbs and I find the ride more comfortable and the difference in overall average speed on the same routes even if I inflate to approximately 100 psi.

Looking forward to your thoughts on this.
