of course that reading is taken before being ridden for the day, or at least not more than a couple miles in the last couple of hours.

Once again I'm ashamed to say, I have no idea as I've never checked. Feel ok though.

My tires are typically a couple pounds low over the course of a week or two. Bumpy roads may contribute. When the bike sat over the the winter the rear was 10 pounds low! Check your tires. The bike will ride better.
