This week in TN the weather has been AMAZING so far. With temperatures in the high 80's at the end of the work day(5PM), minimal humidity and temps in the 60's in the morning. This will be the first week since buying my first bike last August that I will be able to commute to work all 5 days of the week! :)
I'm having some issues with air pressures currently on both my bikes. I can't seem to dial it in correctly so the bike feels like it should. I know that the drastic temp changes between cold tires and warm tires, along with the temp swing during the day, are making it even harder to find the sweet spot. I've thought about going somewhere that fills tires with nitrogen to see if it makes a difference. Any comments would be welcomed on advice.
I've just been filling the tires to about 2lbs below what the max is(cold) on the tire and going on my way.
I also bought a new pressure gauge at bike night last week(held by my local Cycle Gear store, more info to follow) so that should help dial it in as well. The old style "pen" gauge just didn't seem like it was reading correctly.
Here's to sunny skies and fair temps!
