CheeseIsGood Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 hey, just wondering, because trials seems to be very inviting to pinch flats...... what kind o tuebs do you run, and at what PSI? i thought that running a very high PSI would be good, but then in another forum someone said to run 10-12 PSI. what would be best for my set-up. i've got an Azonic DS-1 with 2 26" rims, and two tires with sidewalls on the thinner side. i just would like to know, because the last two rides i've taken i've tried to do a few trials moves, and managed to pinch flat on the corner of a concrete bench....doh. ~Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 i have got micheline hot s tyres front and rear and they had thin side wallas and i was pinching all the time. i used to only run 18 psi but i kept ppinching on them so i now run 25psi and it still feel like 18 psi but without the punctures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swize Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Only run a low psi if ur tyre has nice big sidewalls . Most the people i no run maxxis tyres at 20psi with some chalk/talcompowder in the tyre and they don't seam to pinch that offen ..

Hobnobs Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I run my tyres really solid at the mo, no idea on PSI though, just until i cant press it in with my thumb. Maxxis with no tread really suck, ive had 3 punctures in a week :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 20psi back and front. I hardly ever rim out so I dont pinch, also I have a maxxis on the rear :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 15-30 depending on what i am going to ride and what i feel like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 likely to be 25 in front and 20 in rear for me. I used to run 30 in both but doesnt work on natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 23 for the rear and like 25 for front... I'm 13 stone so thats about right, not had a puncture yet with my maxxis :ermm: :( Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josephine Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 16 rear and 25ish up front with a Monty rear and Luna front tyre (worst tyres evar!) Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 What PSI you run realy does depend on how smooth you are and how you ride, I run 20 rear and 25 front on my Mod with Creepy crawlers. but evn when im doing street trials style moves on my jump bike I still run them at 70-80ish because the shape of the bike makes landing trials stuff smooth realy dificult and I have DMR tyres which pich megga easily :( .

trials_pimp Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Both my tyres are run at about 10 psi, maybe less. Classic Tioga on the front, and a Michelin DH 16 on the rear. Loverly :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.MONTY Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 About 20-25 psi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loverly :ermm: I very much doubt that either... you will be rimming it just cycling up a curb - and due to you having a Tioga on the front you will constantly be getting pinches and punctures, not as much with the Michelin but I still don't quite belive you... Sorry! :( Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 sam wheeler had about 5 psi in his front tyre when i saw him and he didn't get a puncture... "with a pressure this low, you really can't pinch!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Oh yea on the front ive seen some retardedly low pressures but on the back.. i dont see it happening unless you ride mod and you can get away with it due to the giant sidewalls.

Simpson Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Stock 20psi rear 25psi front but i dont stick to that royaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie456_the2nd Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 about 25psi never had a pinch or puncture since ive had my michelin comp 24 :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Quote "no offence but i really doubt that" Would you like to come and measure them? I assure you, they are at that pressure. And yes, i do rim it on everything, and for some reason, the tioga on the front hasnt let me down once yet. And yes, i do rim it on every little gap, and even rim the ehll out of it front touching. Have one look at my rear rim, on the left side, and you will see. The point, I dont care, i cant be assed to pump my tyres up, they work well at that pressure, so Ill leave them there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
