Okay, I have an eZee Torq, and I have had to change the tyres/inner tube a number of times due to punctures. Now should I inflate the tyres according to the tyre specification or according to the Torq instructions (much lower pressure)?

If you have a Torq what front and back pressures do you use?

Thanks!

Aron.

Using Marathon Plus tyres on my Torq, I set mine to the maximum PSI (80 I believe off the top of my head) as I prefer speed over comfort.

I used to run at 55 lbs, but I know many use 45 lbs for the comfort.

These days I'm using Schwalbe Marathon Plus and Schwalbe Low-Loss innertubes exclusively on my bikes and don't get any punctures.

I run my 38 Marathon plus at about 65 Front, 75 back. I Had a few punctures before using Marathons but I doubt this was related to pressure.
