Thanks robinh

 

Bit direct but what was the ballpark cost for the whole build? What did you source new and secondhand? Need to try budget for my project next year..

You have so good lightweight tyres... Maxxis Ikon with side protection ?

 

Tyre pressure is one of those grey areas where you have to experiment. In my opinion your tyre pressure should be fine. I would take the 2.5 and 2 as close to the upper limit however but all depends on terrain. If you can down on the rear to 2-2.2 without hurting the rim then do so.

I rode some sections where there were plenty of stones on the trail as you find next to railway lines and the pressure seemed ok. I was concerned for the sidewalls, so turned of the trail unto a forrest road

Every thing is new except for the shock which was used only for a couple of rides and the guy split up his bike and sold the parts. I went way over my budget.

Seems like you got the pressure right as it is. Its quite the opposite approach to road cycling. With MTB, and more so 29er hard tails, you try and go as low without hurting the rims. It does improve traction and softens the ride more than you would think.
