Got a bit curious and poked around vittoria's site. According to this, it seems the pressure I'm using is pretty ok! Well, at least it felt right today!
But indeed, according to that same chart, the old tires were kind of over inflated .

700x23C is in both the red and in the blue line, what's the difference?
Yes, I'd noticed a lot of praise above for the Shimano Ultegra 6700. The man I spoke to doesn't seem to have anything against Shimano in general, but (if I understood correctly) seems to think that Shimano is too quick to change wheel designs, in an attempt to get people to change the whole wheel rather than parts thereof. Perhaps he exaggerates, or perhaps he's embittered by a single change in the past.
perhaps it's the recent 11 speed shimanos which if i recall from another discussion require a diff hub from the 10s?

There is a very interesting article in Bike Quarterly about the optimum tire pressure, ie. the balance between rolling resistance and comfort. [. . .]

The Shimano WH R501s are 9000yen from amazon.jp (as long as you go with silver - black is a little more expensive). I have the previous incarnation, the R500, and I've found it to be an unproblematic wheel.
I weigh 73kg, my bike comes in at about 12kg when laden with water and tools, and there are some badly kept roads near where I live.
As for fitting a 130mm wheel into a 125mm rear end, I've done it on both my single speed conversion and my current steel frame without problems (both were nominally 126mm). I opted to flex the metal apart rather than 'cold set'.
130 wheel works fine in steel bike. The chainline will be slightly off - but if you are using older 8 or 9 speed there is no issue.
