Hi all , ok with the passing of time I ain't 10 stone no more, (in fact I'm a bit of a fat fook )and when riding my midschool lash up with 1.95 on skyways with schwalbe tubes the rear tyre seems quite deflated , tyre is only rated to 35
I'm looking to replace with higher pressure tyres and or tubes , have I got to replace both , and if so any recommendations ?? Thanks chris

You won't be able to put much more than 35psi on skyways bud, the tyre will pop off sadly.
Tubes will be fine, new school tyres are way better and rated around 65 to 100psi but you need rims that are a) tight and b) don't flex :coolsmiley:

Should be ok going past 35 - I used to go up to about 50 when I ran tuffs
Disclaimer: if they do explode it's on you

Ha ha , thanks both , I will order new tyres and suck n see , I will just up it ever so slightly , this bike only sees very subtle action , rideouts etc🤙
