A tool you will come back to
Tyre pressure
Rider, bike and kit weight against tyre width, tubes or tubeless, rim and surface — the pressure to run, front and rear.
Choosing a bike happens once every few years. Checking your tyres happens before a ride.
How it works
Answer what you know
Terrain, budget, posture, stairs — in any order. Skip anything; every answer immediately re-ranks all 49 bikes.
Mark your non-negotiables
Each answer carries a dial: nice-to-have, important, or non-negotiable. Non-negotiables become hard filters; the rest trade off honestly.
Interrogate the answer
One recommendation with the reasons attached — then open its full file, compare it head-to-head with its rivals, and check the price when you are sure.
