zoster Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 hey! i just saw a clip of danny mac doing a reverse tap thingie on a rail and it didn't seem to hit with the rim, or come even close, which made me wonder what tire pressure do riders use in 24" street-trials. i know is more then in pure trials, but how much more, what range are we talking about (rear/front) ? thanks!

narrowbars Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 50 psi rear and 45 psi front, gonna vary upon tyre choice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I ran/ will run about 50-60psi front and rear, feels nice when you're used to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Danny runs about 60psi I believe. I run about 25 front and rear, any more and it feels too hard to me... and get fewer punctures than Danny does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I run 60-70 psi front and back. I like it firm! I don't like the squidgy feel and as I roll most things as I ride in a more streety style that pressure seems to work. Horses for courses I guess!?

Mark W Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I just strapped on a set of balls and made the pump gauge needle go past the '40' point for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) 60 in the front, 40-50 in the back. I find there's no reason to have a lower pressure in the front but the back is sometimes worth it for higher bunnyhops and smoother landings. Delicate balance though between a smooth landing and tyre foldage on moves like 360 drops with the lower pressures.
