Maybe a difference between clinchers and sew-ups?

I hear that too. I think he's mistaken. I typically race at 140-150 psi on
dry conditions. I'll drop down to 100 psi in wet conditions.

Was just a guess - an incorrect one.
Oh well.

guess that's why Sherwin was a pro rider, not a mechanic :-)

Maybe it was 100 psi 30 years ago.

I too was suprised. I used to pump my time trial rear (Gommitalia
tubular on HED disc) to 140-145 psi.

You are absolutely wrong along with many other new cyclists. That is the
mark of a noob or worse, a clueless veteran; overpumping your tires. Still,
in road ITTs many guys use up to 120 or more depending on conditions. Using
145 on the road us just stupid in most cases although I can think of some
rider\road\equipment combinations that might benefit from this level of
pressure, you are probably following the silly tradition of using the
manufacturer's maximum burst pressure label as a "recommended" pressure.
Dumb dumb dumb...

BTW, to save time in the future you are almost always wrong. I will let you
know if you happen to get something right. Is that a deal?

Another factoid: Paul uses no "i" in his name AFAIK. "Paul Sherwen", veteran
of 7 Tours including riding his last Tour with Roche in 1983 (IIRC...).

Yeah they were probably solid rubber back then

It's possible that Paul is messing up the conversion from bar to psi

If he's been looking at the 7 bar range on his pump when he puts air in
his tires,
well maybe he was just off doing the conversion for his American
audience.

I noticed they display the gaps now in both kilo and miles.

That's "Sherwen." You're getting as bad as Lafferty

Chris,
IIRC, yesterday Paul mentioned riding le Tour in 1985.

Difference between today's tires and what he raced on?

I'm not sure about Sherwen, but that seems very, very high to me.

A former team-mate of mine, a 2, pumps his clinchers up to 160 psi for
races.

I'm trying to picture you right. (Nope, can't do it) but in this case 65-75
psi is too soft for anyone. More like 90 in the wet and 100 in the dry and
the reason that you're running 145 is because you are 300 lbs and riding
18's.
