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?

You must have bar and psi mixed up mate

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?
