    Depends on too many variables, which tyres, your weight, road surface etc etc.

    No.

    6-7 bar.

    6 if you're light. 7 if you're heavy.

    UK roads need no more pressure than that.

    As a ballpark, unless you are super light, or super heavy, I'd say between 90-100 on the front and 100-110 on the rear.

    You don't need any more than that (unless you are running skinny tubs or something)

    6-7 Bar, for a comfortable ride.
