Tire psi?

Savage · 09-09-2007, 08:53 PM

What kind of psi you guys run when doing some offroadin' and gravel road riding?
Last I checked I had 30 psi but I'm wondering if I should air down some for a big DS ride I have coming up.
Thanks

It depends on how hard the ground surface is and how agressive the tyres are. For normal trail type tyres, the softer the ground the lower the tyre pressure. Personally I don't go below 20psi without security bolts, as I've had tyres move on the rim in the past. My other bike has more agressive road legal Enduro tyres and I use road type pressures (24/26psi) all the time.

I run 12-15, but my bikes have bead locks. 30 is awfully high for offroad.

I run 30 front 30 rear due to the sharp rocks in my area.
