I just got in some Clement Crusade PDX's and I'm trying to decide where to start testing the tire pressure at. The min pressure on the tire is 45, but i know lots of yall run tube-tied way lower than that. I'm about 200lbs and and like to bunny hop. I'm running them on alex dc19 rims which are 17mm wide, if that is a factor in what pressure i might could run (and if it's not, i'm a cx noob, so deal with it. ;-) )

<p class="MsoNormal">During my first season of CX racing I used 622x17mm Alex Ace 19 clincher rims with Specialized Hoffalize 32mm tires.</p>
<br />
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve seen recommendations for what tire widths to run on what size rims:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">622x15mm rims take 23 to 32mm tires,</p>
<br />
<p class="MsoNormal">622X17mm rims take 25 to 37mm tires,</p>
<br />
<p class="MsoNormal">622x19mm rims take 28 to 44mm tires.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And I’ve heard that wider rims reduce pinch flats.</p>
<br />
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m curious about the tradeoff between rim weight (estimated at -100g for 15mm and +100g for 19mm) which affects acceleration, and tire
pressure (estimated at +5lbs for 15mm and -5lbs for 19mm) which effects rolling<br />
resistance. I assume tire choice also effect rim width selection; I’ll probably<br />
use the very supple Challenge Grifo Open 32mm next season.</p> removing glue from tirestag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2010-01-26:1198434:Topic:503812010-01-26T01:16:34.092Zsroka_roberthttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/srokarobert
just a quick question as i can't seem to find too much info anywhere else on the net. even the zinn-man doesn't mention it in <a href="http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/01/cyclocross/readying-cross-tires-for-the-off-season_102192">THIS</a> article. <br></br><br></br>So, I am wondering if and how you should remove glue from your base tape after removing them from your wheels. I have been cleaning my rims super clean to remove any/all that developed during the season. Maybe just the big chunks?…

Goo-Gone?<br/><br/>If it matters I have Grifo XS and Grifo tires to remove glue from. They are last year's model so they come "pre-sealed." As in, a light coat of whatever water-sealant Thailand uses.<br/>
