TYRE PRESSURES

Can anybody help with some basic tyre pressure information? First ride on my restored bike will be on a friends farm. Nice and green, soft underfoot! Thanks Jerry

Hey Jerry,
i like 13psi for most surfaces but these days i run 15psi purely for that little bit of extra puncture protection.
if your on soft grass, you could go even lower. a good tyre pressure guage is a must.
enjoy! :)

Thanks Freakshow. I'll start at 15 psi and work down. Jerry
