Well done! Now you've gone and made me hungry! :cursing:

 

Haha!

Yeah, that seems to be a common combo.

Hey, I'm new here.

 

I use my bike almost exclusively on tar roads, I weight 81 KGs and I love the tactile feedback of having my tires hard. I normally go for 300 to 350 PSI, which translates to 20.7 to 24.1 bar. What downsides are there to having my tires that hard?

I pump to 350 PSI, my tires have a maximum of 375 PSI specified. If 14.5 PSI = 1 Bar I'm correct?

I run my wheel on 2bars front and back but when on rocky surfaces i sometimes feel larger rocks bumping the rim. Is that normal? If i pump my wheels any harder then I find my back wheel slips on steeper,loose climbs.

1. Tubeless or tubed?

2. If tubeless to you run dedicated UST or TLR tires?
