Not if we start on a downhill. Gravity works very well on this body. Fortunately the Yeti has big brass balls to make up the time he will use on the uphill.

 

Hijack off.

              Rocky      Slippery/sandy

Front       2.2             2.0

Rear        2.0             1.8

 

If you run you front shock hard up your pressure as this puts more strain on tire during impact.

 

I ride a hardtail on tubeless and have never had a pinchflat (touch wood!)  with this setup and excellent grip. Thumbs%20Up

I ride my tubeless at 1.9 / 2.0 bar - gives great feel and control. With tubes I'd recommend nothing harder than 2.5, unless you are doing a flat ride like crater cruise and want less rolling resistance, then take it up to 2.8 3.0 bar.

4.5 is insane haha

oh and i weigh 88kg. going over 3 bar is nuts, ride becomes stiff and washing out in fast corners is a reality. never had any pinch flats with tubes in either. Rude2008-06-04 12:33:01
