Stan Shaw Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 If you only weigh 6 1/2 stone then 15-17 psi should be reet. Best bet is to take pump out with you and play about with different pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant_hundley Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 20-25.You must either 1) have a awefull tube 2) have something in your tire? spokes poking through? 3) you are the harshest person riding trials or 4) your pump gauge is over reading, and says you have 20 in when you only have 10.

Luke Rainbird Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Pump it up until you don't get punctures/ride smoother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Kendas are my tubes of choice, decent weight (130g each) and decent pinch protection. I'm fairly light but I'm not the smoothest rider in the world, but I manage to get on with Kendas just fine. If you've got a T-Vee you must have those crummy Stiky Fingers tyres, right?

sstein Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I am around 14 odd stone (I know I am a fat guy, but most of it is muscle) and I normally run 20 psi without many problems. The other day I had a slow puncture and rode fine with around 8psi even did a drop about 5 foot high like that. Just get a good tire!
