graham cube Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Hi I have just converted to tubeless on my MTB. What pressure would you recommend in my tyres? I weigh 90kg. ThanksG
KnobbyMech Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 It depends on tire volume, type of riding you do and type of terrain. Generally a large volume tire (don't be fooled by the size indicated on the tire, a 2.1 Saguaro propable has a larger volume than a 2.4 Mountain King for example) can be pumped lower pressures than a small volume tire. For the normal marathon riding we do in SA, I go for 30psi up front and 35psi in the rear (if both are the same tire of around 2.0in), but I know of guys running them up to 10psi each less. Oh, I weigh 80kg.
Eldron Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Me: Rave King 2.2 (29er though).2.1 bar.2.2 for a 26er I reckon.
KnobbyMech Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 10psi?? Hau... 10psi less, thus 20psi front and 25psi rear. Especially for muddy and slippery rides.
Eldron Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 For the record 1 bar = 14.5psi...some sires quote 14.7psi...
crasher Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I think 2.2 would be a good starting point ride try adjust to what you feel works for you.Dont be surprised if you take a while to get used to lower pressures and may want to run a bit higher at first.
minjin Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 What about pressures for road training with the same tyres , should you go a bit harder?
