I’m 13.5stone and running Road Pilot 3s.
I WAS running mine at 32F/34R as this was recommended to me and being a new rider took the shops word for it. I was really struggling to ride it at low speeds and it was feeling a little odd and twitchy, I considered swapping the bike in as a result…… however I have now pumped them up to 34F/46R and it feels like a totally different machine.
Its now much more predictable at low speeds and more confidence inspiring at higher speeds. I have no idea why I was told to put so little air in them and will continue to tinker with a bit more when the weather clears up.
