Until recently, I was at 36F and 42R - partly because of the book and partly because I "read somewhere" that the rear might last longer.
Uurrm - I just changed to 34F and 36R after the rear was almost fully worn at 4,000 miles (stock BT020).
I like the ride at the new pressures and unequivocally recommend 34/36 ish. I agree that the 36/42 must be the max. Of course, as mentioned, a little experimentation is good for your particular riding conditions etc.
Take care - BB
