Reading this again after 5 years - in the meantime I am running my 23c at just 6 bar/90psi, and wonder why I went for so much more pressure before. It's just so much more comfortable.
6 bars are actually totally fine as anything above will be unable to even out cobblestones or short curbstone drops etc. on your way.
I don't notice that much deformation to the tyres while riding at 6 bar, too, at 80kg rider weight.
(it's funny because I just switched to some NOS Pariba Criterium tyres that are officially specified at 12 bar / 175 psi max, which would be completely insane and probably blow every rim)
