Ash-Kennard Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 26 psi on a mod to flat ?Danny.i actually reckon higher pressure kill the rim more, have it so you nearly rim out on preload and landing on gaps, i think the higher pressure makes the tyre too solid and instead of denting the sidewall it will just flat spot.i know i have my tyres very flat and ive never killed one, i just replace them after about 6 monts when they start denting from millions of grinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 if you are going to get a DX32 - you should stop and consider an echo 07 front rim.... its been as strong as my DX32 and is lighter and has thicker sidewalls so will take the grinds ...
