bikeperson45 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) I normally use around 3psi, it helps with my back hopping and gives me enough roll for the spinny stuff. Edit - Seems I missed off the 5 Edited December 23, 2010 by bikeperson45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockman Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I normally use around 3psi, it helps with my back hopping. WHAT! 3psi, I run 23+psi and I ride on pallets a sometimes street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.price Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 WHAT! 3psi, I run 23+psi and I ride on pallets a sometimes street what i was thinking ! 3psi would be just on the rim all the time . Would have dents in no time ! I have around 25-30 psi... but i heard danny mac as 60 psi WHAT! 3psi, I run 23+psi and I ride on pallets a sometimes street what i was thinking ! 3psi would be just on the rim all the time .

Miles Mallinson Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) that has to be a typo, i ride a minimum of 40psi on the rear of my brakeless bike because i always puncture when doing spins off stuff but when i rode brakes proberly 25psi for the rear would be the minimum Edited December 22, 2010 by Milo123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 i am riding with around 1-1.1 bar, dont know what that is in psi, about 20-25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) I think its about 15psi still pretty low but not as low as 3psi. Edited December 22, 2010 by Milo123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 yeah okay, but i like if the tyre is "bouncy" so you can get more power from the tyre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeh, lower psi's are much better on Mods just depends on what terrain you are riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysRoach Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 thanks guys but wont you pop your tyre or dent it on drop offs? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Not if you run a thick walled tyre or a heavy duty tube and it also depends how smoother rider you are because if you thrash your bike off drops or gaps and don't really soak up the landing as much as a smoother rider your going to get more punctures.

Miles Mallinson Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Theres been a few threads on stock tyres but Maxxis Minions, Continental do a few and Try All just look on the Tarty Bikes site there is a good choice there, I can't really comment on tyres for a stock but i've ridden Minions on my Mtb and they were nice.
