Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

(at least on the rear tire) I felt 70 psi was too squishy and 80 bounced a bit on rough roads doing fast descents. Really surprised
Wondering why the large 15PSI differential F to R? (Earlier you had listed 20 PSI difference!) Most Calculators, like the SIlca one posted, put it at a 3-4 PSI lighter for the front at your weight. Running 60 PSI front would feel mushy, and be terrible for handling IME. On my Roubaix with Future Shock, I run F&R pressures almost even, and handling seems great.

Interesting and timely thread for me. I haven't run 28s in the past. I run 25 mm on my road bikes, and 32+ on the gravel or commuter bikes. But I just ordered a pair of 28s for when I want to ride the gravel bike on the road. It has 25 mm interior rims and am wondering what pressures will work. I'm guessing 70 psi in the back (I'm about 68 kilos). Some experimentation will happen.
