120 psi REALLY!  its suposed to be around 40 to 60 psi. WTF!!!

[FezzariBicycles]

@matthewtchernev123 For a road bike yes. 120 psi depending on your weight. Not for a mountain bike. You're going to get pinch flats running 40 to 60 psi on a road bike.

I ride 120 psi, and I really like it, but someone who weighs 130-175 or so may run it with less PSI. Naturally, you'll want to do what makes your ride most comfortable for you.

Clean chain ftw.

Yeah RIGHT!! It takes me over 30 minutes to replace a tube because the tyre is so tight inside the rim. I did one today and snapped a tyre lever. Any tips on how to get the tyre off when it's extremely tight inside the frame????

I learned this crap when I was 8 yrs old now people are making videos on how to do it. For girls maybe. Haha!
