pengsmelly Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 well I would say what ever you feel comfortable with. But not to low because you dont want to bottom out. well hope it helped you. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron_W Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 i used to have my tyres quite hard and i found it quite hard to bounce.so my advice is to have your tyre soft enough to bounce but hard enough that you don't bottom out.hope this helped aaron!

Grant H Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I used to ride with no more than 15psi in either tires...after pumping them up to 25psi + i find that i have more control over my bike.Just experiment to find a psi you like.

Rubenio Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey,Front : Very hard, it's for me easier to control my bike.Back : As soft as possible , also for a beter control. But when I feel The rim "touch" the ground I pumped it a little.Grtz.Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 25-27psi. any lower psi and you cross onto more technical natural riding, any higher would put towards street for rolling, spinning, jumping stuff. your bodyweight makes a difference as well. trial and error is the general thumb rule.

Tommy d Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 40 psi. Rolls well, spins well, doesn't hit the rims, and doesn't feel like riding on jelly.Some people like to use really soft tyres to cheat so they can balance and bounce...

TrashZen Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Never knew the actual pressure... but depends on the terrain, start well inflated, then adjust taking out some air on the terrain until it feels perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-ANT-ONZA- Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) I would jsut look at your tire (it will say like 35-50psi. Then again trial and improvement is the best way. How about just always carry a pump around with you in a bag and adjust where nescesary?? Edited April 8, 2007 by -ANT-ONZA- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 i change my tyre pressure for what im riding...also you have to consider tyre air volume aswell stocks and mods are going to be different and you need to consider width of rim and type of tyre: ie you can run a dual ply tyre ar lower pressure!loads of variables!
