Reply to "Calibration Madness"

peteriegelRCMBB Founder

I used airless tires of several types for a few years when I started measuring in the early 1980's. I switched to pneumatic after a while. I found that my calibration values did not remain constant as I had expected, and I found the ride to be a bit harsh.

I changed to using pneumatic "Armadillo" tires and pumped them up to 100 psi before every precal. I found the calibration to remain very uniform.

Over the subsequent decades I never had a flat.

Go to the "find" tab on this site and type in "airless." You'll find some discussion there.
