The postman just delivered a big priority box from World Class Cycles, I wonder what could be inside...?

thx Mark.

Judging from the chart, for a guy my size (275 lbs) I should inflate the tires (32mm) to approx. 80 psi. I'm just wondering if the FMB tires can safely handle that much pressure. I don't want them to start splitting at the seams, that would be bad...

I'm not familiar with your tires payload capacity :-) After I found this chart, I realized I was running too high a pressure, particularly in the front. I would just try experimenting with slightly different pressures and use the chart as a guideline.

I have them on stretching on a set of rims @ 90 psi and they're holding up just fine. I figure I should be ok if I run them at around 50-60 psi.

On a side note, I just bought a pair of Dugast Typhoons 32mm. Can't have too many cross tires *especially when they're FMB or Dugast!).
