brucem76 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Burped the front and went OTB (and over the edge of the burn I was trying to rip) 4 weeks in a wrist brace and a moese knock to my ego [emoji85] [emoji5]Yikes, just did 2 rides on new tubeless at higher pressure to make sure everythings seated and sealed. Going lower pressure tomorrow, hope it works (I'm 125kg!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXV Posted January 13, 2015 Share Haha... I weigh 83... So what's the correct pressure ?I ride my 29er at around 2 bar. I weigh around 88kg and use 2.3 tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbride Posted January 13, 2015 Share I'm 69kg and run my tyres 1.4 front and 1.6 back on Wide Lightnings. I think they do prevent burping alot because of the width Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted January 13, 2015 Share 76kg and running 1.8 rear with Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.35 SS Pacestar and 1.6 - 1.7 front with Hans Dampf 2.35 SS Trailstar on Giant TRX1 27.5 wheelset. would not run lower on these tyres. Different tyres with more wall can probably go a bit lower...Also check it regularly. As last weekend I nearly went out on a 1.6 back and 1.2 front.

Gringo Posted January 13, 2015 Share Ive got the exact tyre's and Im running the front at 2bar/rear at 2.2bar (Also hate riding flat feeling tyres). I weigh 89kg's. Very happy with these tyres!   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyFrank Posted January 13, 2015 Share Haha... I weigh 83... So what's the correct pressure ?I am 96kg - Tyres - 2.25 S-NN Front, - 1.7 bar / 25psi front,  2.2 M-CM rear - 2.0 bar/ 28 psi. tubeless with sealant. This is on my compressor ! Slightly softer if it`s wet/muddy/thick sand. I find that if the pressure is too soft the things get a bit wallowy and squirmy and generally adjust my pressure according to feel rather than absolute figures as tyres can vary from brand to brand.

ByronH Posted January 18, 2015 Share So I tried different tyre pressures today on the Spruit. It worked so well! 2.2 bar rear, 2 bar front... It will take me some time to get used to the bouncing of the rear though on uneven terrain.. But then again, I'm used to a 'super-hard tail' with rear pressures which used to be close to 3 bar!

GrantRH Posted January 18, 2015 Share Haha... I weigh 83... So what's the correct pressure ?According to the formula: 1.7 in front and 2.0 at the back. But it can change with different tires. It is just a guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelman Posted January 19, 2015 Share I was running 1.4-1.5 during the Epic last year and never had rock strikes on my rims. I weighed 95 kg then. Was running a saguaro in the back and a Spez ground control in front. Both of them in the 29x 2.2 range. And BTW I don't hold back going down. At 95 kg I can only really enjoy the downhills.

droenn Posted January 19, 2015 Share I've got the rear (Saguaro) running in traction rather than speed. Seems to work great in dusty/ dry /gravelly conditions we've got at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadonis Posted January 19, 2015 Share I have to agree your pressure waaay to high. I also hv saguaro tires back and front and they pull me round corners I fear I hv over cooked the speed..very good strong confidence inspiring and never burped or had sidewall troubles.
