To calculate the optimal tire pressure:
TP = (W × R) / (200 × V)
Where:
Cycling tire pressure refers to the amount of air pressure, typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI), that is maintained within the tires of a bicycle. The correct tire pressure can greatly influence the performance, comfort, and safety of a cyclist. It can affect the bike’s speed, traction, and susceptibility to flats. The ideal tire pressure varies depending on factors such as the type of bike, the weight of the rider, the tire size, and the riding conditions.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
TP = (W × R) / (200 × V) = (180 × 14) / (200 × 100) = 2520 / 20000 = 0.126 psi
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
TP = (W × R) / (200 × V) = (150 × 12) / (200 × 90) = 1800 / 18000 = 0.1 psi
