Re: Air Pressure

I just filled up my tire until it felt full..if you run the pressure low (or too low I should say) you'll risk pinching or spinning the tube and getting a blow out. Lower pressure may seem to help it seem a little more stable to you, but once you learn to balance the bike, it doesn't really matter.

that usually happens from not enough air and you pinch the tube

I run 30lbs and do circles for days and I've never got a flat
