Hey guys I have a question! :)
OK so I am very confused about tire pressure...I want to basically do trials(hopping etc).
I have a 24 inch unicycle, All the answers that I have found over the net were for 20inch's, and they suggested 20-25 tires pressure. But since I have a 24inch wheel my tire looks like it's ''squishing'' too much! Can you guys give me an approximate number that would be optimum for trials(hops) and a bit of riding Last edited by busterbuzz; 2009-08-02 at 10:19 PM. |

Theres not going to be a number, or equation that works for everyone.
For trials, youre going to want to prehop and land bigger drops without hitting the rim. So fill up your tire pretty hard, hop around, do some drops, and if it feels too hard, let some air out. Hop around, do some drops, if its too soft and youre hitting the rim, fill it up a little bit, and keep trying until you find your spot.

well, we would need your weight and maybe height, and the tire your riding. then maybe someone could come up with a starting pressure for you to figure out what your perfect pressure is

If your tire is thinner, like on a Torker 24", you might need around 50-60psi.
