tyre pressures are chosen to achieve a suitable 'tyre drop' based on the weight of rider and bike.
I use this article to to set my road bike pressures.
You can see from that chart going from a 1" to a 1 1/4" means the tyre pressure can drop substantially for the same loading.
I am asking on a retro forum for their input. I will report back.
