Just picked up my new toy - £55 on FB marketplace, pretty much unused - and still going for £280 online!

Product review.
Not the edge, that is there for sizing.
Decided to test it because of concerns over pressure on rolling tyre.
Piece of piss to use. Screw on the little thing then follow your nose.
Loud. Worried the charge would not last but it made it.
Quick to recharge. I wonder how long a power bank would take to recharge?
Battery life likely to drop so may be sensible to use manual pump to begin with.
£30ish. Seems fair enough for a properly inflated tyre.
Next review: the tyre glider.

To the experts here. What psi would you inflate to for skinnies on a hybrid, only ever used on roads?

Depending on width of tyre and system weight, that prob way too high unless on 21/23 mm tyres.

If you out your stats into those calculators, does it suggest 100psi?
If weighty(ish) on 25s then 100 could be do-able.
High pressures sometimes “feel” fast but tests/studies indicate that in many cases not actually the case. There’s been a lot of research done over last 5/10 years on this and is why most riders (and certainly pros) are going lower, most prob around 60 on 28s I suspect.

I run about 75 (rear) and 70 (front) on road bike with 28 (tubes), could go lower when I replace with tubeless. Note I am about 82kg and bike about 7.5/8kg.

I always liked to feel like I had enough in the tyre. Hated it feeling flattish running lower pressure. All my rides are off road now. So not really up to speed with road riding.

I do a fair bit of gravel riding (OK mostly downs link!) and have 45s on gravel bike running about 30psi although tubeless so no worries about pinch flats.

The tyre will probably tell you the maximum PSI.
I’m not that thick LOL. I used to go by that then read online the thinking is to go substantially below.

My experience on rollers is the lower the pressure the more it feels like you are riding in wet sand. Be hard. Go hard.
