Tire Pressure
Riding with the appropriate tire pressure can make a big difference bike control and speed. Many athletes tend to ride with too much air in their tires, which results in less traction and less control when cornering. The table below provides some guidance on this topic. The benefits of riding with the appropriate tire pressure cannot be overstated. Ask a coach if you have questions.
