Hi I am same weight as you - 87kg. Surely you can't be at 150 PSI - that's about 10 bar!! I think i am running about 2.5-2.8 bar, somewhere about 40 PSI. If you are running 150 kpa (about 1.5 bar or 22 PSI) which would be very very soft, then is this on tubeless?

Yip, came with the mavic 819 rims. Do you think it is worth changing to tubeless? Is there really a significant improvement by running the slightly lower pressures? If i change, are there any tyres that stand out as the ones to go for or is it a case of horses for courses?

I must say that i find them especially loose in the dry. What is the benefit of changing to tubeless tyres? Is it only to avoid punctures or is there more to it than that? Sorry, i am a bit inexperienced in this regard. thanks

Thanks for that. 2.5 bar must be about 35psi i guess?? I have not converted to tubeless yet. I am not sure if the suspension was setup correctly, although they certainly did ask my weight and go through the whole setup routine at the bike shop. A friend who has the old anthem 1 says he reckons my suspension is too soft. How do i check if this is correct or not?

Hi I recently upgraded my 3 year old entry level bike and bought an Anthem X1. I love the bike, but it does seem to be little twitchy and loose on the corners. Can anyone suggest if this is perhaps a setup problem or if the standard tyres (maxxis crossmark 26x2.1) are not that great. Tyre pressure used is about 2.5bar front and back. I would be grateful for any advice in this regard. thanks
