Zipp sagt zum Reifendruck:

"TIRE PRESSURE
Volumes of data have been produced showing decreased tire performance at high tire pressures, and our studies have been no different. We recommend 100–110 psi for all nylon-cased tires (such as Michelin, Continental, and Vittoria Ultra Speed), and 110–125 psi for cotton and softer material-cased tires (such as Vittoria CX, Vredestein, and Veloflex). Pressures above these will decrease tire grip and actually increase rolling resistance on most road surfaces, as the tire generates more heat conforming to the uneven road surface. The tire PSI rating on the sidewall of your tire is the MAXIMUM SAFE PRESSURE, indicating the amount of air pressure sufficient to damage or increase risk of tire failure. If you have questions about your tire’s optimal pressure please call the tire manufacturer or contact its website for further information.

Remember, increased tire pressure will cause the rider to experience more highfrequency road vibration, possibly giving the feeling of going faster, but actually sapping energy as the tire bounces over road imperfections instead of absorbing them. Higher tire pressure significantly reduces grip and increases tire wear as well, so if you are wearing through tires quickly or feeling skittish on less than perfect roads, you might be running too much tire pressure. Therefore we rate our clincher rims at 125 psi MAX."

125 psi sind 8,6 bar.
