Tire psi?
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.
