You're overinflating your tires. A lower pressure will increase your speed and efficiency unless you're riding in a velodrome. Here's a video about this:

(watch out, there's a lot of extra stuff in this video about the machine they use to measure efficiency)
- deathanatos 5mo ago(Well, they should tell the manufacturers…) The video's result for both tires they tested was peak efficiency at 5 bar. They had a really coarse sampling of a whole bar, so that works out to a pressure of 65–80 psi.
- shiroiuma 5mo ago>(Well, they should tell the manufacturers…) The manufacturer rating is likely a max allowable pressure rating.
