durkadurka Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hiya guysI was wondering what tyres and tyre pressures you are all using. As i have a Maxxis High Roller 2.5 and have it really soft. For some reason, it seems to sound really harsh when i do anything. (its not becuase im a harsh rider)I was wondering if it had anything to do with the 'eg, 60a' hard compound of my tyre.Does this happen to anyone else??Much AbligedAdam (Adz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir trial a lot Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi, You will probably find this harsh noise is the sound of you 'rimming out'. Basically this means that when ever you land on anything your tyre is so soft that the rim is actually hitting the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 ok i used to run about 18psi on a ronnie with a intense tyre with a 3 inch tube and i stuck to walls like spider man but after a couple of big ish hard landing gaps i found out that it was a little to soft and i now have dents in my rim i now run around 27-29 psi with the same tube and tyre and i still stick on walls but my balance has improved so much eg on the backwheel with the bake brake off for a couple of seconds just go out ride a curb but adjust your pressure aslong as you have a pump it wouldnt hurt anyone will ithope this helps materic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
