Maladie Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hey mate, I would say pump both tyres up to 30 PSI and start from there.Ride it how you normally would and then just keep letting air out slowly until it feels right for you. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukasMcNeal Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Personal preference really. I find flat it better but if I have to cycle from a train station etc. i'd pump the up harder because its easier to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 What PSI Should You Run Your MOD At?What Would Be The Best?ThanksJasonPut about 35 Psi in both then let a bit out till it feels right that's best for you to do.I ride with 30 - 35 it front and 35 - 40 in the back that works for me.

bigmountainbear Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 In my opninion, it is good to ride the tyres very hard as a beginner. You'll get more sensitive about the tyre's behaviour.But to reach the best performance, it is recommended to work with different pressures. e.g. Rick Koekoek is called to justify his tyre pressure for each section. I don't know very much about this, but I think you have to consider these different cases:-Surface (you won't get a flat tyre on paletts as fast as on concrete objects)-Pitch (so that this won't happen: )It'd be better to control the pressure with a pressure gauge as to do it by feeling. But I'm not doing it this way at the moment, later on perhaps but I don't have the right tools therefore and also not enough motivation ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panteraboy Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks for all the feedback, i will try out 30-35 PSI and see how i feel about it Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 When I rode Mod, I ran between 10 and 15 rear and 17.5 psi exactly in the front.Andy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 17.5 psi exactly in the front.Would you be able to tell the difference between 17.5 and 17 if someone where to let a tiny bit of air out when you werent looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tris Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I run 105 PSI in my BMX tyres if it helps A higher PSI means a lower rolling resistance so it's better for manuals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) I run 105 PSI in my BMX tyres if it helps A higher PSI means a lower rolling resistance so it's better for manuals.....

Dan6061 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I run around 17psi now I think. I'm known to run next to nothing though...I like my tyres soft, but still rollable. So I can still manuel and roll about, but it still wraps around the edges of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Would you be able to tell the difference between 17.5 and 17 if someone where to let a tiny bit of air out when you werent looking?I wouldnt know for sure but its possible i suppose. Plus i dont leave my bike anywhere for it to happen! LolJust have always used it at that pressure, check it before each ride.On 26 now though.

ginger allen echo Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I rin around 17-18 psi in the back and 14-15 psi in the front. with front and rear slick maxxis tyres (all side nobbles cut off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibi123 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I would ride about 18 PSI, mostly becasue if you are a light rider the lower pressure helps rear wheel hopping. Around 20 in the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ost Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I both at 35 PSI. This situation is not likely to ruin the rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 i dont weigh a whole lot so i run about 25 PSI front and rear, i like it to be a bit bouncy. i usually just run what ever feels good at the moment, i never mess with pressure gauges when filling the tire, only if im curious. if its a sandy area maybe down to 15PSI and if its sharp rocks and tall drops maybe up to 35PSI. youll be able to tell whats best for you once you start playing with it, youll definably be able to tell if your running too low.
