Are lower tyre pressures OK?

Postby EliteTuoRider » Tue Aug 03, 2021 10:41 am

Hi everyone,

I've just bought an Elite Tuo. I haven't set it up yet, but I keep reading that the ideal tyre pressure is 110 psi (approx 7.6 bar). My tyres are rated to a maximum of 95 psi (approx 6.5 bar).

So my question is: as long as I keep to the same pressure every time I use the Tuo, can I have my rear tyre at a lower pressure and still calibrate correctly?

Thanks for any help.

Hi

If your tires are rated for 6.5 bar, use that pressure.
The calibration procedure will adjust the power map basing on the real friction, so it will work anyway.
