I've found that 0.7 kg air in the forks helps front wheel braking/turning on
asphalt. Less dive during the braking and more stability in the turn. The
trouble is finding a gauge that can measure so small pressures without
letting all tha air out. Don't try to adjust the pressure with a compressor
tire pump!
