Just bought a Road Rider (rear) for mine but not fitted yet. Let me know how you get on.  I'd run around 30 PSI to start with and adjust from there.

G'day fellas.
I like mine on the hard side. RoadRiders on both my A's 32 front 36 rear.
For yours I'd start at 28/30. Won't be far out for comfort and grip.

Just fitted Road Riders to my SR. I have kicked off with 33 rear and 28 front following the discussions on previous topics that modern tyre rubber is softer than the old type so the pressure needs to be a bit higher.
I am of quite generous proportions so equivalent to two-up pressures  ;)
