Shut Off Tire Pressure Monitor ???
#31
#32
Ok, I made a ride today under VERY windy conditions (gusts up to 52 kph = 32 mph, so the chariot had to work harder to pish itself through the headwinds and crosswind encoutnered on a full circle 77 km ride at mostly 100 kph = 62 mph.
Here are the cold and then maximum steady state tire pressures that the dash was displaying (all in Kpa, since I am in metric Canada):
Actual cold = F 244, RR 184, LR 180
Actual hot = F 264 RR 194 LR 190
% increase = F 8.2% RR 5.4% LR 5.5%
Note that although these hot pressures did not hit the apparently ideal psi increase of 10%, they cam a LOT closer than my rdie yeaterday under more favorable wind conditions.
So, HD maybbe off the ideal target psi for a lone rider without passenger or baggage, but if we add a passenger and baggage, I could see the 10% increase in psi being hit.
And, as before, I found the rear suspension overall (shock absorbers and tire pressure) just fine for steady state riding, but admittedly unimpressive for hard bumps.
