Wow, a great adventure and nice biking job! You really rode up 18 % gravel incline? Very nice. Btw, 3,7 bars on 54 mm (estimate based on pictures) Nobby Nics sounds quite a lot. You sure your rims will withhold that much pressure? Also, the rolling resistance will probably increase a bit compared to lower pressure when riding on uneven surfaces. Have you read the recent discussion about tire width, pressure and rolling resistance? [[http://www.ridingfeelsgood.com/tire-pressure-width/ Here]] is an excellent account about those. To sum that up in a few words, wider tire rolls better than a narrow one, and higher pressure is not always better, the optimal pressure depends on how rough the riding surface is.

:Well, I did take asphalt roads for most of my trip, that's why I raised the pressure to 3.7 bars. That's the maximum they also seem to be rated at. I did not know the bit about rolling resistance having a more complex relation with tire pressure than a linear one. Judging by that the higher pressure still seemed to be the right choice for my (mostly) road route.

I wish you good luck with your first hash! Have fun! - RecentlyChanged (talk)

Thanks I guess. It was fun. I will probably be doing this again. I hope I am doing a reply right. Lysogeny (talk) 08:15, 1 November 2015 (EST)
