Wow, that must an absolutely terrible ride! Why on earth would you pump them so hard? :eek:

Old school.

Pump to max pressure = less rolling resistance and helps prevent flats.

I used to run my 19mm tyres on steel frame at 120psi

There was a certain rough section of swartkoppies road that after a few km your arms would start to itch from the vibrations.

Orange sealant --->> not a good experience for me. Dries too quickly and sticks to everything (inside tyre walls, levers, hands..).

Thats strange, mine hasn't dried out in just over a year

Yes. I also think this is a huge factor. Internal width of the rim specifixally from what I read. Don't even know mine.

Think the rim makes a big difference

Yeah I seen some GP5000 looking like balloons on narrow internal rims etc. Then some of the deeper carbon ones the 25 is more of a 26/27 ish, almost square.
