Newboy Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 What pressure do you guys ride your mountain bikes? And what do you weigh?
Flea Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 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 Posted June 4, 2008 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.
Newboy Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 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.
HammerHed Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 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.

Iwan Kemp Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Tubeless at 20PSI. Soooper soft for more traction which = more speed. Maybe like 5PSI more in the back tire. Read this:http://www.bicicletta.co.za/Downloadable%20Docs/Rolling%20Resistance%20Eng%20illustrated.pdf
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 1,7 to 2 bar.... dual sus Cannondale Rush.... 58kg.....
