I heard/read multiple instances of people pondering if they should or shouldn’t change their tire and/or shock pressure for winter. This got me thinking how much of a change there is and should I take it into account?
Science to the rescue!
In this scenario the amount of gas ( nR ) does not change and also the change in volume is not significant. We can then derive the following equation to calculate the necessary fill pressure to achieve a desired riding pressure, based on the temperatures of filling and riding.
