Newboy Posted June 4, 2008 Share What pressure do you guys ride your mountain bikes? And what do you weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flea Posted June 4, 2008 Share You maybe need to get the size of the tyre as well - so in your case 29", but also the 2.1 etc as these all influence the ride. Plus whether it is tubeless.I ride my tubeless too hard, as I have not yet had time to play with softer settings and harder is probably safer ?

ASTANA Posted June 4, 2008 Share Look on the side of the tire - should be a recommended min and max. Play arround until you find the right one. Start in the middle let say 4.5 bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted June 4, 2008 Share I am riding it at 2.2 bar and trying to convince my buddies that it works better than making it too hard. 4.5 bar is seriously hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerHed Posted June 4, 2008 Share I run my tubed & slimed tyres at 2.1 bar I weigh 80kg and don't get pinch flats or any flats at all. They really grip well at this pressure, and also roll faster off road with this low pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted June 4, 2008 Share Tubeless at 20PSI. Soooper soft for more traction which = more speed. Maybe like 5PSI more in the back tire.
