Hey gang, Josh Poertner at SILCA just sent out a notification of their new Pro Pressure Calculator, which takes your weight, tire size, and surface type to spit out an optimal front/rear tire pressure for your rides…super useful! The beta site is here: https://info.silca.cc/silca-professional-press…

I got the email and applied. I didn’t post the link yet because I don’t seem to be able to access the actual calculator, even after “registering”. Anybody get to the actual calculator yet?

I had the same problem, so re-opened the registration page and entered my name and email manually (I’d done it via AutoFill previously), and that seemed to do the trick…hope that works for you Chad!

I emailed Silca, and apparently helped them find a bug. We apologize for the confusion and thank you for your feedback. There was a coding error on the backend causing an issue and I’m glad we are working through the bugs. Whew. Here is the link that should work once you given your information: h…

I’m messing around with it now. I plugged in my typical road and gravel setups. It seems to give me values that are too high for road setups and too low IMO for gravel tire setups. This is based on my experience.

One consideration that seems left out, is that they don’t have a “Tubed” or “Tubeless” option. I could see that being a straight adjustment (+/- a percentage) to account for that difference. I did fun little sheet based on a CyclingTips episode about tire size selection , largely gravel focused. I…

Hi, Maybe a topic for the next Youtube / Podcast on TrainerRoad (great show - listen every week), but a topic I would like explained a bit more is what really is the right tyre pressure. I am 81kgs, riding in Dubai where we have great cycle tracks (very new and flat), only proper road riding is wh…

The guru on this stuff is Josh Poertner from Silca (who funnily enough was also riding in Dubai a few weeks ago…), have a look at some of his blog articles like this one https://blog.silca.cc/asymmetric-effects-of-tire-pressure-optimization Effectively the answer is that it depends quite a bit not …

Hi, Being from Dubai gives a lot of worth in yr notes as Al Qudra is a luxury for us for sure… Thank you so much for this! I am traveling tmrw for a few days and will give this a good read and look at making some slight adjustments and gauge at least one level for Al Qudra and another for when th…

Not too far off my own personal choices on pressure, I am running lower than they recommend, but not a lot, and surface quality is difficult to quantify
