Swift01 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Hi,I have often wondered what tires and pressure people run. Here are my stats Bike = Carbon Hard TailRider Weight = max 74kg Front = Intense System 2 (2bliss running gheto style) 26 x 2.0 at 1.75barRear = Kenda Small Block 8 (non tubeless gheto style) 26 x 2.1 at 1.9 to 2.0 bar Been running this for some time now with no problems. I just find running non tubeless your margin for getting the tire pressure correct is very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift01 Posted November 16, 2010 Share I could not get the crossmark to corner, gave no confidence. Changed to Kenda small block 8 front and back which was not too bad (definately better), and now got the Intense on the front which seems to work even better.I also could not get the mountain king to work some time back, but I believe they are best when the track is a little damp, and not loose hard pack gravel?

Swift01 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Tires are definately a very personal choice so it's going to be interesting what different tires pressures etc people are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewie911 Posted November 16, 2010 Share I'm weird. Running crossmark UST up front and Race king protection at the rear. Pressure: Around 2.8bar for both on my carbon HT.I like the speed of the 2.8bar Recently I've been riding at around 2.1bar, thinking more of grip now Oh yeah, I weigh 67kg Edited November 16, 2010 by stewie911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIRMAVRICK Posted November 16, 2010 Share i really like it hey!! works for me no probs!! even in the hectic mud on the weekend i was impressed with it! See you use the same pressure tho If you like the crossmarks on the front then try monorail when you need to change!!! Confidence is great and you can really push the tyre in corners, especially if you brave enough to ride it at about 1.5 bar I LOVE MTB Why am I at work!
