Tyre pressures

[Wenagade]

It took a lot of reading to drop my psi into the 20s from 40s & mind i have no suspension, the comfort compared to 30s is a significant improvement both on & off the road, an ebike though so rolling resistance is no longer a consideration.

Ill add i saw improvement @ 29 rear 26 front but you wouldn't or i didn't think it, but 3 psi is only a few pumps of the track pump & now @ 26 / 23 it's a revelation.

If you find this to, just don't think of the thousands of miles you've done previously on many a bump & grindstone.

I just won't go further to propa MTB chaps who do 19/17 etc care of my uses require a balance & id guess if your tyres are budget you might add that caution despite the wind, mine are hans dampf.

I also say if you'd like to do more miles regularly but
struggle to, ebikes are great & rapidly getting better & affordable in good condition second hand.

There not as good as a ' propa ' bike mind.

Id say give it a try & see if it works for you.

I expect you imagine I eat ox liver-in fact I prefer pigs' which has been steeped in Balsamic,sliced and cooked in a hot wok.

Pigs liver bad, the pig considerate heavey metal there Lambs liver is better for you.

I usually run the rear twice the pressure of the front.

I'm a recent convert to tubeless and I definitely would not go back

This question has probably been asked 100 times, but what pressures do people run on their MTB tyres?

The top end of whatever range is on the tyre. That’s my preference. Feels like I have more control on corners. And more speed on the hard bits. Happy to sacrifice is bit of comfort, padded gloves and shorts for that…

I’m 100+ Kgs though…

I'm 80kg. I run about 28 on the rear and 24 on the front with 29 x 2.3 inch with tubes on a hardtail.

ooooh Linus. Somewhat modern there. That will ruffle a few feathers.
