WaaHuw Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi, just recently purchased a 09 onza rip. It came with some rubbish cheapo tyres on it (probably going to upgrade) I'm interested to know what tyre pressure to run as I have no experience in this erea of mountian biking. I let out some air today whilst I was messing around, but I think I let out to much becase when I was balancing on pointy ledges, my tyre hit the rim. I only weigh 40kg, so I can't get any other guides because everyone else is heavier than me. Thanks for all help given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Pump the tyres up until they're pretty firm and ride and just let a bit out at a time until you feel comfortable. I know some mod riders who have their tyres really soft so they squirm about a lot but I hate it so have mine quite firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goanywhere Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 You'll want to get a trials orientated tyre, when I went from standard mtb tyres to trials ones I felt an enormous difference, less punctures too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
