droo Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Jirr. For 36k you won't do much better than that. Off to Witfontein to get her dirty, I hear it's prime right now.
thebob Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Congrats on the new bike! Did the dealer include all the bits and pieces with it (sag guides, manuals etc?)

Transformer09 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 Hi guys, need some help. Since I have tubeless tires/wheels, how do I pump up my wheels cuz they have liquid in them? I dont know how it works. Can I just pump them up with a normal pump? Also, I have this one > https://bike-addict.co.za/products/ryder-st-3-0-floor-pump What bar or psi should they be?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Yes, normal pump is fine. That Ryder floor pump is great for the purpose. Start at around 28PSI rear and 25PSI front and fine tune from there. You may need to go slightly higher at the rear, depending on what tyres you're running and how strong the sidewalls are. Generally speaking, higher volume & stronger sidewalls = lower pressure.

Just to add to that - before you start pumping the tyre just let a little air out (press the valve for a second), just to get rid of the few mills of sealent that may be in the valve). Once you have pumped the tyre up and removed the pump head from the valve just compress the pump a few times to get rid of any sealant that may have gotten into the pump head - gets a bit pesky if sealant gets stuck there and clogs up your pump.
Rigardt@Scott Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Rear Front Very nice combo for XC and general trail riding. Maxxis EXO sidewalls are strong and quite puncture resistant. I would start at around 30psi rear and 28psi front - it may be a bit hard - but you are on the heavier side, and you can adjust from there till you find a comfortable pressure. Rather start slightly too hard than too soft just to avoid dinging a rim somewhere.

DieselnDust Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Ok so I assume the tyres have been sitting at about 40-50psi for a day to get the seal nice and tight.Check for the minimum pressure rating on the casing. It’s often embossed on the casing somewhere. I’d use that as the starting point. Ride around the driveway a little with the tyre at that pressure and check if the tyre looks like it’s getting what looks like a nice set of waves that look choice for any surfing. Hop off and add 2psi and repeat till the wave in the tyre disappears.Record that pressure somewhere and start riding. You may want to stil make some adjustment after being on the trail for a couple of rides. Maxxis tyres don’t have the most supple casings so they do need a slightly different presure on different trails.Orherwise just ride em
Dexter-morgan Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 As promised. Here she is...I am SO jealous right now, my old Genius needs an upgrade.
Transformer09 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 Anyway, bike is extremely comfortable and rides like a dream. However, this thing causes some pain????????????[emoji23]
DieselnDust Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Lol and so it begins... Fabric saddles. Comfy and cheap
