Tire pressure

what should I be using for all around tire pressure. I have as street tire on the back & t he stock tire on the front. I had a few flats before from running slow pressure & doing circles.

Screw flats. its time to ride!

I like to run 20 up front and 20 in the rear. Unfortunately the rear tire still shifts on the wheel if your doing a fast circle wheelie. If you are running tubes with straight valve stems run a nut down over the thread to keep the tube from moving

I run 20 also....seems to work good for me.

Thanks for telling me about the nut....that is what I have been missing! (im not so bright sometimes) What is the size of nut if you happen to know of the top of your head?

Just learned another thing from SL
