Re: tire pressure poll

30 is perfect for everything that i like to do. i don't notice a big diff if i go a bit more or less so i keep it there for front & rear.

Re: tire pressure poll

I'm diggin 28-32 psi right now in the rear (32 up front)

My tire leaks though, so I'll fill it to 38, and ride it down to about 20.. Once it gets below 20 I get really sloppy on circles

Re: tire pressure poll

ill lower the pressure if i gotta ride in a shitty lot with alot of seam sealer/grooves, but tire pressure doesnt mean i cant do the same tricks...

25 psi circle combos
20 psi circle combos*
(* denotes the trick is no longer acceptable and has no skill involved)

25-30 all the time.... Low pressure in a shitty lot makes the bike want to follow cracks and potholes
