Today I rode on victoria open tubulars 23mm
On maverick ksyrium elite pumped to 74 front and 77 rear. I’m currently under 140.
My observation is that it rolled very nice on smooth fine asphalt.
When the asphalt is aged or weathered a bit. I start to get feedback a little buzzing feel.
When I’m on long descent with similar or worse surfaces my hands and arms feels a tingling sensation. Any longer would probably feel numbness.
So I’m pretty sure I could have and should have let out 10psi on both tires to have changed the med harsh ride to a comfortable ride. But I was too lazy to want to stop for that. Figured it would build character to suffer through any minuscule things.
At the end I think 23 are way big enough for me and I wouldn’t gain much going bigger.
