31/32 is the factory setting I think, and it's what I use +- a pound or so depending upon guage accuracy. I never use a supermarket or any other fuel station inflator without checking with my own guage too. Their guages probably never get calibrated and even if they did, by the time the motoring hordes have thrown them about the cal will be off. Mine isn't cal'd either, but it's at least consistent and should have a <5% error.

2.2 bar, about 32psi is the going rate as far as I know, up to 2.7 bar or 40psi in the rears when loaded.
