Once you start getting into these ranges, you start to use your body weight to try and squeeze in that extra bit (and here's where Jeanie and even myself hate doing). That last extra bit.
For racing tubular tires, I cant even begin to imagine when we have to get it up to 220psi.
Here's perhaps the key to the pump. 3 settings. Once you flick it to the 200psi setting, it somehows engages different chambers, cos its very easy and smooth. You cant get as much volume in but the needle on the guage moves. Sort of like dropping gears on a bike to climb up a hill.
P.S Mike, whats the view on Tufo's racing tubular clinchers (C3 lite, 135g)

I use Tufo Tubulars on the Zipps. They are very good and long lasting.
I am not too keen on Tubulars Clincers due mainly to the cost involved. you can't repair punture on Tublars.
ic..M trying to find a way to make use of my 260psi pump ;)
Would also be a good way to try out what tubulars would feel like.
Cost: Some old stock perhaps, after discount abt A$40-50 a pop (which is roughly the price of a GP4000)
I don't pump my tubulars not more then 140PSI anyway. Does the tubulars clincers need so high?
Well, that was the spec. U can have a look at Tufo website. Recommended PSI 140-220
