42psi on a 300x 18. If you need a service manual you can find them on here for just about all models.

Sadly, that rear tire has less than 2k miles on it. I just bought new tires from JP Cycles but haven't put them on yet.

Thats bad! U should get at least 6k out of a tire.. idk about avon yet, I'm on my first set.. but my metzeler I was getting about 7k on the rears and that was just because they were cocked so one side would wear and the other would be just fine.. lol.. n e ways, as Paul said above 40 to 42 in the rear and about 38 to 40 in the front. I check mine about every 2 weeks or so. Good luck and be safe
I run 35 on my mastiff, gives me more contact patch. With your rigid I would suggest you run around the same, will give you some cushion and better tire wear. @dentdude36 also runs 35 I believe, he has the same bike as you. It's not what the service manual say but that's what works best for me anyway. My rear has over 7k miles on it and plenty of life left in it....could be cause I don't let the air get stale, change it often...

I'm pretty sure I am running 36 now but I will check it. I ran 36 in my first tire and it did exactly the same thing.

Two weeks ago we did a benefit ride, I checked my pressure with my digital gage and thought was good to go..once the ride started my buddy pulled up beside me and said it looked low. Pulled into the gas station and grabbed my gage, checked it and told my buddy that it was good, not low. He said I should put my glasses on cause the gage says 25...
yup I'm a jackass..
That's cause she don't want to go that slow...36 is what I run but I also don't ride 2 up ever
Haha so 25 looked like 36? WTH?Two weeks ago we did a benefit ride, I checked my pressure with my digital gage and thought was good to go..once the ride started my buddy pulled up beside me and said it looked low.

The whole point of the digital gauge is so you can read it easier...

Maybe its time to have Sue do that for you
I'm fukn blind without my spectacles..and it might be helpful if they made the numbers big enough so I could read them, but then the gauge wouldnt fit it my tool bag...
But then she will mock me...hey wait she already does that..Maybe its time to have Sue do that for you

Oh wait, did you replace that stale air from last year?
Ooops... Wrong thread.

So I go to get my bike inspected and get rejected for no reflectors and on the way home I get stopped by the local leo and he pointed out the fact I had no reflectors and urged me to install them, they have been on ever since and no further problems. I know how much everybody likes them.
