MTB Tire pressures

[Swift01]

Hi,

I have often wondered what tires and pressure people run. Here are my stats

 

Bike = Carbon Hard Tail

Rider Weight = max 74kg

 

Front = Intense System 2 (2bliss running gheto style) 26 x 2.0 at 1.75bar

Rear = 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.

Im the same weight, with a carbon soft tail..

ride with 2 bar in front and 2.2 in back on LUST crossmarks

Tried cross marks (Lust and non) about 6 months back, but could not get them to work for me :-(

How are you guys finding the Lust Crossmarx front?

 

Through mine away after a week and converted to monorail... Much better handling?

 

Riding a Anttem X2, dual

 

Running Lust monorail front - 1.9

Running Lust crossmarx back at 2.2

Why not? not handling?

Race Kings or these def my next tire!!!

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?

Tires are definately a very personal choice so it's going to be interesting what different tires pressures etc people are using.

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

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!
