Welcome to the forum
Very basic advice - I know nothing!
Could someone advise me as to general psi levels to put in my wheels for varying surfaces, I realise this is probably VERY basic, but it's all a little new to me!
Road in dry conditions -
Road in wet conditions -
Rollers -
Guessing there are loads on permeations, but this should get me started!
I've been riding a lot (for me) on rollers at 70 psi, tried 80 and found I went quicker easier! Should I therefore try 90!
I'm hoping to come along to the three tuns tomorrow night and meet some club members, and also do first club ride on Wednesday (if it's not too frosty).
Thanks in advance, and apologies for being a dimebar!

I'm guessing there will lots of preferences on this.....
P.S. Welcome! You can jump in at the deep end and try your hand at the puncture repair challenge tomorrow at the Tuns! Although 100 psi with a hand pump could be tricky!
I will watch the challenge!! My puncture repair skills date back to using a washing bowl of water, chalk, sandpaper??? and glue and patch! Could go for world record slowest!
From about 8pm. Clubman of the Year says he'll try and make it too: just bumped into him in London village.
I'm similar to the others above (23mm tyres) but will go higher for road tubs in dry conditions, but perhaps as low as 80 in slippy slidey conditions. Generally about 10-20 psi less in the front.
I rarely go over 100 with clinchers even in summer. Different matter with tubs.
I've always heeded his advice and don't go above 100psi either.
