Si-man Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Anyone got anything useful they can tell me about tyre pressures? Not Si-man Hows that not useful??Its called a SEARCH!There was a thread on this last week for christs sake!how difficult is it for people to use their own brains to figure out things these days, f**k sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 si-man has an attitude, i was working last week so probably didn't see it. hope you get kicked off soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 The only reason i have an attitude at the moment is because people cant get it into their thick heads to use the search feature.Also, where is the harm in you going out and testing different pressures until you feel comfortable with it, so that the rim isnt going to constantly be twatting the floor everytime you move.If people tell you the answer to everything in life, your not going to get very far on your own are you Now, im staying out of here now before I explode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Si, that's the whole differance between those who make something of themselves, and those who are content to do f**k all with their lives. Not everyone can be the same.I do agree it get's annoying, but just don't come into NMC if it's that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 si-man has an attitudeHAHA, thats funny as. To behonest si-man doesnt have an attitude, you just have an inept ability to use the search feature, which would of saved you the hassle of making a new topic.P.S - i run 18 in the rear of my stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 As said, check it out for yourself, make sure it's not too soft, make sure it's not too hard, it depends on your weight aswell.Something you must learn about trials, not everything is going to be the same. It's all about your feel of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 By the way si-mans bad attitude is in the way he's going on in loads of topics at anyone that has anything to say, thats the problem!Thats true fat pants. I've learnt that from my 8 years on stock bikes, but i was asking for peoples opinions, not asking what i should use. Is that so wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 now now boys calm down mate its all about personal opinion with tyre pressures. i run about 18psi but i rekon you should just go out on a ride with a pump and a pressure gauge and just mess around for about half an hour and you should have it sorted. hope i have helped mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Dont ride with much pressure, just enough so that you got get flats EDIT: And not as low pressure as you dent your rim Edited December 27, 2006 by GTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Im not on my "high horse", its just pretty obvious what the answer is going to be.Ive been a member on here for around 4 years now...Members come here in here to give newbs advice, otherwise whats the point...If people cant take simple critisism then your f**ked in life to ge honest.Anyway, im staying out of this thread now, and if you havn't grasped what im on about yet, then more fool you And, i give advice to people who truly need it, like if someone asked how to take apart a profile hub for axample, because i have experience with these hub, owning 2.

Coming onto this forum telling people they are un-helpful and should be kicked off, You really need to lower yourself down a bit young man.
