Technology of HED Vanquish RC4 Disc Brake 40mm Wheelset

Tubeless Tires:

Try using the formulas below to find a good road bike tubeless tire inflation pressure starting point. As already stated, these pressure suggestions are based and can be adjusted up or down by up to 3-4 psi in line with personal preferences and road conditions. These recommendations are based on using HED rims with a 21mm internal measurement and a hooked tire interface. These recommendations are also based on using a bike, clothing, and any luggage totaling roughly 9kg in weight.

• 23mm tire width: Body weight of rider x 0.97 = recommended tire pressure
  
• 25mm tire width: Body weight of rider x 0.92 = recommended tire pressure
  
• 28mm tire width: Body weight of rider x 0.86 = recommended tire pressure
  
• 32mm tire width: Body weight of rider x 0.80 = recommended tire pressure
  

For example, a 70kg rider using a 28mm tire would be suggested a tire pressure of 60.2 psi. (70 x 0.86 = 60.2 psi)

More of the rider's weight is placed over the rear tire, so to afford balanced handling of the bike, the front tire can be inflated by 2-3 psi less. We usually split this difference between the front and rear tires, so our 70kg example rider from above using a 28mm tire would use 61.2 psi in the rear tire and 59.2 psi in the front tire.

Clincher Tires:

Use the same calculations as above, but add 3 psi.

The maximum recommended pressures for the different-width tires are as follows:

• 23mm tire width: 80 psi
  
• 25mm tire width: 75 psi
  
• 28mm tire width: 70 psi
  
• 32mm tire width: 70 psi
  

If your pressure calculation results in a psi above the maximum recommended pressure for any tire width, try going up a tire width size.

If your pressure calculation results in pressure higher than the maximum recommended psi, you can still use the tire but shouldn't inflate it higher than the maximum recommendation. If you are using a tire at a lower psi recommendation than your pressure calculation, please be aware there could be a greater risk of rim damage from a tire bottoming out over harsh road imperfections such as potholes.

Wet Weather: Reduce the pressure by around 2-3 psi to help with cornering grip on slippery roads.
