What tyre pressures are you using at the moment? Have you played around with your bike setup much? Let us know!👇
@TivonSanders 7 ай бұрын
40 - 45 for city riding (Metro Detroit will have you going through mixed terrain), and about 30 - 35 rear and front respectively, or I might just match up the numbers if I'm on a faster and flowier track. Having a firmer front tire helps me with cornering speed. What width was your Vittoria Mazza's btw?
@rider65 7 ай бұрын
2.6" at but typically 22 rear 18 front on trails (+/- a pound or 2.) 165 lbs with gear. Rear insert. Front tube.

I think it's important to note the width of your tires when stating your PSI's. Those Mazzas he mentioned being at 23 -25 psi looked like they were 29 x 2.3's. Different tire widths have different air volume, which affects their maximum tire pressure and therefore, the pressure recommended for that tire will be different than a tire wider or narrower than it.
@uldi1s 7 ай бұрын
Correct! and the width of your rims, and the surface you'll be riding. For example, I run 2.6's in 36mm id rims. This creates a LOT of air volume (the bigger the air volume the lower the psi for the same feel). Additionally I weigh almost 100 kgs, but ride on very soft loamy terrain, so I can get away with 16f/20r. If I go to a rocky place I bump it up to 20f/24r 👍

keep your weight a bit more forward than usual (I know, scary but necessary) and pump (push into the berm) on your way out

@@uldi1s pumping the berm and counter steering as necessary on the way out is getting easier, but the counter steer before the turn to start the carve is where I’m struggling.

#ASK/GMBN: Do tire inserts allow you to run lower tire pressures, while still giving proper support under hard braking/turning?
@rider65 7 ай бұрын
Support comes from the sidewalls, not so much the carcass. As long as the bead of the tire is seated well on the bead or hook of the rim, lower pressures will not have a negative effect under ha4d braking/cornering. I run 20-22 on a 2.6" rear with insert. No problems on all trails from super hard tech to easy ST...
@TivonSanders 7 ай бұрын
Yes, that's what the sales pitch for tire insert manufacturers. I've never used them so I can't say for sure.

One of the most BASIC rules of setup; A balanced suspension (on FS bikes) When I see, hear or read a rider has 30%-35% Rear Sag and 15%-20% Front Sag...I cringe. 🙄😂 Front to Rear should not vary more than 5% in sag.
@LaurentiusTriarius 7 ай бұрын
What about the rear sag on my hardtail, I have my 170mm RST stich up front, should I run a 3.0 tires in the back at 9psi? 😛

@neilhaighton2098 7 ай бұрын
Nah I disagree. More sag on the back when setting your bike up on a level surface. When the trail points downhill, this will naturally weight the front and unweight the back, evening things up. If you set up equal then you would have a fork sitting very low in its travel, and rear sitting very high, if riding anything steep. That's the opposite of what you want.
