I would like to try some mavic yksion 23c on my shimano rx31 disc wheels.im currently using 25c conti Grand Prix on them at 95 psi f and 100 r ... Will the 23c mavic tyres be ok on these rims and what psi should I be running them at as I hear you should run them higher than the 25's

I'm 14.7 stone so psi seems ok for me at on the conti's but I do notice a bit of bulging on the rear tyre still. my bike is a derosa idiol ultegra di2 disc 2015

I hope this all makes sense
When i die I just hope the wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it other wise someone will be getting a mega deal!!!

    23C tyres fit perfect on these rims (17 mm internal)...
    You should be able to run them with lower pressure , I (80 kg) run 23's on 17 C with 6,0/5,5 Bar and 25's with 5,5/5,0 Bar.

    BTW Conti GP are much more reliable in the wet, I would never trade them for Mavic's....

    Quite honestly, even if I got them for free I wouldn't have them on my bike. They're dreadful compared to the Conti's.
