how much the standard bicycle tire air pressure is in the track racing?

Question

bicycle tire air pressure in the track?

Answer 1

If you are talking about velodrome racing or certain types of street racing like Criterium's, you will most likely be using "Sew-Up" tires which are glued to the rim. These types of tires are capable (depending on model and brand) of being pumped up in excess of 160psi. The standard bike tire is called a "clincher" which the tire actually seals against the rim to keep the tube from blowing out. Clinchers generally aren't supposed to be inflated too far past about 120psi because the tire will want to blow off of the rim itself. For strictly racing purposes, Sew-Up tires are far superior because they can be inflated significantly higher, allowing faster speeds, but they are INCREDIBLY bad news for every day riding, because fixing a flat with a Sew-Up takes HOURS, but with clinchers it can take only minutes.
Either way, the sidewall of the tire will tell you the maximum pressure you should inflate it to.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

140 PSI plus... assuming you're using sew-ups and depending on the brand. Make sure the glue is done right on the rim. A tire rolling of is more scary to me than a flat.

Answer 3

check the sidewall of the tire for the PSI range...
usually at least 110 to 120

Answer 4

if still interested in squash court building, email me your email address.. and I'll give it to my squash friend. We play three times a week.. He built his own squash court at his home for his children to learn on. I'm sure he'd have some good ideas.. if he can remember how it was built. Of course it was some time ago.

Are you looking for the most inexpensive or most expensive or.? do you have a budget?

Answer 5

on the track maybe 160-200 psi,with good track tubulars,my contis can go to 220 psi
