Mod tyre pressure

[benv]

Hi, what tyre pressure do people find best on mods ? I'm nearly 13 stone and not sure if to hard or to soft ? Thanks

Depends where I'm riding and how. Streety means fairly solid front and rear, natural means a bit lower on the back. If I'm doing drops I have it low, but not enough to bash the rim.

and not sure if to hard or to soft ?

We all have this time in our lives.

you don't want to be smashing your rim. just giving it a good nudge or having a little room to play with is always good.

then again its all down to personal preference on how hard you like it.

i dont even understand how people manage to smash rims to be honest

Gaps to 90° are a good way to do it, especially when running low pressures. Or landing a gap right on a corner (generally when riding street)

Big gaps

I like a fairly hard mod tyre because they're so big on the rear, harder preload and they send you flying.

But again depends where you ride, a little bit harder than you think you need is good for safety reasons on the front of getting pinch flats.

I usually run fairly low pressures compared to most people, but most of the stuff I do is static so I like to get the most bounce I can. Most things it doesnt quite hit the rim but it's not the end of the world if it does. Usually best way to find your pressure is to set it high and just let it down as your ride progresses.

A bit of rimming isn't a bad thing though

I'm trying that at the moment with high and letting some out, just wondered if people had found a good medium but sounds best to keep trying all different pressures

I run about 25 rear and 30 front, that's quite a lot harder than most though...

Personally I rode spongy on the rear, and really flat on the front.

I did not do any big moves, and the springy, spongy rear tyre was comfortable, whereas when I arrived to the grass, the low pressure narrow front tyre gripped

What Adam said. That should be enough to give you a bit more spring but not rim out on anything other that the pointiest rocks.

Cool thanks everyone, Adam on the zoo that you built for Bongo, I bought it off him
