Avon Storm 2 Ultra

[pembsgtr]

Another hundred miles yesterday and tps pressure now staying constant 42psi which is what I am aiming to achieve with the use of dry nitrogen, no pressure change therefore no tyre shape change therefore tyre will be running as designed

Bear in mind that not all tyres are happy at 42PSI. e.g. the current Continental Road Attack 2s that I'm running, the front is happiest at 38PSI

Thanks Nb will bear that in mind and keep a good eye on how the front and back wear  8)

225 miles yesterday all dry roads, smooth dual carriageway and A roads country lanes with potholes big enough for the bike to get lost in with lots of loose gravel, tyres performed exceptionally well, all in all feel more confident on the storms

Well, you can use 70% Nitrogen or 100% Nitrogen.
70% is more commonly called AIR.

Pure Dry (no moisture) Nitrogen gives better predictability in a tyre.
It is normally used in racing as they need predictability.

It is the the water vapour in the air that causes the 2 PSI rise in pressure between cold and warm tyres.
I use this as a gauge of when the tyres are warm enough.

It will make no difference to a road user if they use 70% or 100%.
Nope, no MPG gains, no handling changes, no tyre wear improvements.
Checking your tyre pressures more often will have more of an effect.

As for the 42psi-49psi difference, one of your gauges is off, and by a fair amount.
The TPS should show the same pressure for air and pure Nitrogen.

Condivido al 100%. ;)
