Iwan Kemp Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Have been using Stan's Yellow tape and sealant for a good couple of years now and have never punctured. Also, even at the pressures I run have never suffered pinch flat or sidewall cut. Granted I ride AM tires.
benadeja Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 In the front I go to 8.5 bar and in the back 9 bar , I weigh the same as you and it works for me.
Tiny K Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 ModMerge !!!! Waffle.... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/109720-26-mtb-tyre-presurre/ Dude, Gatorskins are Road and not MTB tyres.....
NotSoBigBen Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Its mainly for pinch flats i'm concerned about. Striking a rock at low pressure will increase the chance. I also use slime tubes and tire liners, overkill perhaps but in my 5/6 years MTB i have only had 1 puncture and that was when i replaced my tire without fitting the liner. Oi all you old hubbers don't you think it's about time we club together and go round to Stans Yes Tjoops house? He needs a tjoopless conversion, he doesn't think so but it's a about damn time no ?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I need to drop the pressures in my DH tires. Running far too high, but then again I haven't converted to tubeless on them yet. On my XC bike I run about 30PSI (tubeless) and I weigh 100kg.
Meezo Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) 64kgs used to run 80psi now run 100psi Edited November 8, 2011 by Meezo

On my XC bike I run about 30PSI (tubeless) and I weigh 100kg. Will make a MASSIVE difference. Grip will be sick coming down the mountain. XC bike can come down quite a bit as well. Experiment with 22-25 front and 25-28 rear, then your work your way down from there.
rudi-h Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 64kgs used to run 80psi now run 100psi we don't understand greek here on the hub... metric please

Off topic a bit (and yes, there is a search option, but I don't think this exact question has been asked) HR & Minion Super Tackies, non tubeless, wire bead. Tubeless-able? Oh - and XC bike is normally 30 at the rear. At the front, I've got a piddly little 1.95 tubed tyre for now, until I get my rim fixed (using my wife's wheel) and that has to be super hard as it has NO volume...

Minion Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Brilliant tires and never gets punctured.Why do you want to change something that's working? Are you an engineer by any chance? For what it's worth, I run around 100psi at the front and 110psi at the back (6.9bar, 7.5bar) and weigh 77kg.
splat Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 The Conti catalog says 110-120 Psi (Max) What is the limiting factor i.t.o max pressure?The tyre or the rim?
Cycling Major Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Actually an ASPIRING Charted Accountant... So I try to find something that is broken
AndreZA Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 All my road tyres were 120psi back 110 front.
