cp101 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Am I running too low of tire pressure when I can feel my blasted rim on drops? Seriously. And I need a bigger tire, gdamn 2.3s. Whoever said 2.3 are big enough for everybody needs a lesson in absolutism after getting beaten.. I'm also pissed because I developed some flat spots in my rim...(dx32) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Get a maxxis and pump it up like a rock (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I sometimes rim out on big-ish drops. It's just a mixture of low pressure and not being very smooth. I've got a 2.7" tyre so I can't blame that either (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I used 2.35 tyres for a year or so, just run a little higher pressure like 25psi. Otherwise, a nice 2.5 Maxxis tyre is where its at (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp101 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) you, a 2.3 is hardly a beginner tire, haha. I'm gonna slap my maxxis 2.7 on there. Edited October 30, 2005 by cp101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 If you feel you are rimming out too much simply put more pressure in your tyre, try it, if not then try a different tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I'm also pissed because I developed some flat spots in my rim...(dx32) Yeah it always happens : The munn is right though. Put more pressure in. My slippy finger can still hold out with 6fter's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipkickbs Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Just run higher tyre pressure then? or learn the mystical art of smoothness, i run about 25-29psi and very rarely rim out on things (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 i can see where hes commin from, with maxxis they tent to be so stiff to get a nice feeling you need to let them dosn low other wise they feels rock hard, but just pump it up and try and get used to it (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Lol, your rimming out just dropped off stuff to flat ground? And think its because you have a 'narrow' tyre... lol... people these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 2.3 is fine! Dont go any bigger tyre-wise, just pump it up a tiny bit more, and learn to land smoother (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
