Adam-Griffin Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 1234Just Pump them up and let them down as you go along until you find the ideal pressure And try to use the search next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladd Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like to run my tyres pretty hard but a tiny bit soft 20-25psi so i get a lil spring ,and run them hard so i dont dent my rim it already has about 6 dents in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H! Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I run mine about medium pressure not too hard but not too soft either i like them the best like that. You have to watch denting your rim if you have them really soft, but if you have the really hard it is quite easy to pop your tyres (which i found out by having mine very hard, and they both popped) Hope i've helped mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaylor38 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 depends really. i run mine soft but not so soft tht i am going t rim it. but the better you are the higher the stuff you may be dropin off so the higher your goin to drop off womething the easier it is going to be to rim.so just have the pressure to fit what you do and what you like.hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onza-t-pro-boi Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 i have mine with no air in what so ever more grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogz- Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 it kinda depends on your tyres and rims . iv got a try-all rim with a 26" 2.5 tyre so i get away with running 25-30 psi with out rimming to much , but if you have smaller rims and tyres you should have to run higher pressures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I run mine without tyres. You can gap much further without all that weight.Also, when you slip off you get a free grind on your rim so that saves time too.On a serious note, these topics always make me laugh - just pump it up until you feel comfortable?
