?????? tyre pressure ??????

what tyre pressure do you normaly run at for trails? my tyre always seems too hard or too soft

can you post the presures you prefer, thanx

sEaRcH BuTtOn. for real you motherfucker this is stupid and people should stop posting about what pressure you should use!!! Just find what works for YOU damn it.

One suggestion that has been previously posted stated that a good rule of thumb is to have 1 lb of air for each 10lbs of body weight. Ex: a 150lb person would require aprox 15lbs of tire preasure. Hope this helps a bit.

out of context and against the thread title i know, yet, i dunno.

hmm best post ever, i’m gonna take notes.

I weigh 155 and i run it anywhere between 18-22.

As other posters have said, it depends on your body weight and preference. At minimum, you want it at whatever pressure keeps you from bottoming out. Beyond that, you could put it at 50 PSI if you really wanted to.

Which part? The hidden part or the search part?

sigged:D

It’s all preference. I weigh 90 and I keep mine at 23-25.

That 1psi for 10 pounds is wrong. It may work for some people but not all.

If I used that rule, I would be runing 17-18psi, and be bottoming out all the time. For me, I run 30psi.

it is already sigg’d ‘Harley’ who posted second had it in his sig, i was just emphasising it. he might get angry with you nabbing it.

i just thought it was funny, then thought about it a little more, and now have gone through about 20 litres of water and am heading off down to the garden shop to buy me a rock.

oh yeah and as for tyre inflation, just as long as it is enough not to fold over on gapping you will be fine. mine folded over for the first time the otherday, testing new pressure for my new uni. scared the shit out of me and really hurt my shoulder. i have lost the nerve to commit to side hopsl ike i used to :frowning:

This thread has a lot teach us about time-travel.

On the issue of tyre pressure: I’ve got no idea. I just pump my tyre to the ‘good’ point and if I don’t like it then I either let some air out or in. I have a simple pump with no gauges and I’m happy with it.

Ivan how could you? riding around with no knowledge what so ever of your current psi!

If ignorance is a bliss then I live nirvana.

You may find that beer is a better alternative than water in this situation and I would suggest that you start with a small rock until you get real good at this type of thing.

lol, now that is sigged.

and to tell you the truth, i did not even make an indent :frowning:

beer it is, bring on the weekend!

You could make it into a scientific study: beer consumption vs. marksmanship correlation.

but then it would get difficult and i would begin putting it off untill the night before it is due.

and i dont want to be putting off a slash, i could bloat.

But i am in a sig mood, so i will sig it anyway.
