Canardweb Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Is there a way to convert PSI to bars? Because here in France, we measure the pressure with bars, so please help! No worries, I found it! Edited January 23, 2010 by Canardweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 75ish kgs, bike weighs 12kgs, reppin' the 50psi massive. Well, i was til i got the little bike - now it's about 80psi It's all personal, if you feel its not got enough "bounce" let some air out - it's not hard.

Holy shizz you're tiny haha I thought i was mini... 63kg bike...10ish? front and rear - 15-20 Just experiment duuuude, if its too hard or people say it's really solid then let some air out. On the flip-side if you're denting the shit out of rims and/or getting flats increase it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you ride 24", not a normal bike, so there's no relevance. Again, experiment with the pressure until you're satisfied.. There's no other way to do it really.. What might work for someone, might not be the ideal for you.. /Jan Tore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Why do you even bother counting the pressure? I just pump and check it by feeling, not by meter showing psi/bars, whichever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Pump it up. Let some air out, ride, see how it feels. Repeat. It's not that hard. Edited January 23, 2010 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Pump it up. Let some air out, ride, see how it feels. Repeat. It's not that hard.

brad1995 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 To test mine I just gap to a curb and if you hear a clunk as your rim hits the curb you know its too soft, and if it feels too hard let it down a wee bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
