Re: bt090 tyre pressures
I used to run mine 31 front and 35 rear. If I remember rightly that is 1 psi lower than the usual. It felt better but could have been in my head?

36/40 - most manufacturers recommend this setting for a standard road bike. There's a thread about it on here somewhere.

Re: bt090 tyre pressures
Actually, looking at the L model manual, it says:
Front - 31 to 36psi
Rear- 36 to 41 psi
These are dependant upon tyre type, but all the ones listed are ollllllllllld so it's highly doubtful anyone will be using them.

Re: bt090 tyre pressures
36/40 are standard pressures for a road bike. Start there and see how you get on, I personally run something like 36/36 most of the year
