Acidfreak Posted March 1, 2010 Share Hi Guys, I did a search to see what is the "correct" tyre pressure on a MTB, I know it depends on whether you will be riding on sand, road or just hard dirt... I like riding it kinda soft but am worried that it migth damage my tyre if I get a knock from a rock sticking out... Any advice on this would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Giant Posted March 1, 2010 Share Disscussed many times, sugest you do a search. There are a lot more variables than terrain. Your weighttube or tublissvolume of your chosen tyres. I run my front at 1.8 bar and my rear at 2 bar. but I weigh 67kgsride tubelessand have a 2.4 inch wide, high volume front tyre.and set my suspension soft (front and back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 1, 2010 Share Clearly a tricky question. I weight 80kg. Crossmarks front and rear at 3 bar each. I use tubes. Seems to work for most conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted March 1, 2010 Share with tubes at 80kg you should try 2.5 bar max could even get away with 2.3 in front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andretraut Posted March 2, 2010 Share I look at what the tyre says on the sidewall and follow the instructions carefully. Minimum for off road and maximum for tarmac. ( 2bar and 4bar)Works well for me. Running tubeless and I weigh in at 82kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
