what pressure

[raleighnut]

Watch out for low pressure rear tyres with tubes as you can rip the valve out in ultra low gears (log hopping did this to mine)

You don't say what size tyres you have. In my view that will make a big difference. Putting 40psi in 26x1.95's or in 29x2.25's is night and day. It will also vary by tyre make, so there is no universal answer.

I'm going only 10.5 stone lol and tyre size is 26 inchers

 

[Colin B]

Cheers for the advice I'm gonna try 50 in the back and 45 in the front next time I'm out see if it feels better now all I need to do is man up going down muddy downhills and stop screaming like a girl lol

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

My vote is for 45-50 psi for most people.

That's probably about right. Im pretty light and weigh about 8st 5 at the moment so I get away with lower pressures.

There are so many Variables at best, it will be a compromise its always a compromise ! So yep suck it and see is as good as any advice you will get. There is a lot of info given out that does not apply to 99% of riders. Short circuit racers XC Downhill Cyclo cross etc etc. will swear that low pressure tubeless is the way to go. No shoot Sherlock ! Of course it is they forever going round corners ! As a matter of fact it even drives me round the bend!

MTB off road 45 rear front 45 im 10 stone it works for me !

 

[Ciar]

I usually run mine around 30-40psi depends on what i am riding, either trails single track or a bit more man made like swinley.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Are all the people running high pressures are on tubes, my tubeless specific carbon rims have a max pressure of 40psi.

 

[Salad Dodger]

Here's my opinion, for what it's worth.....

(For reference, I am about 16 stone and ride a full sus MTB with 2.25 inch wide tyres on it).

35psi off road, and about 50 psi on road.

 

[PaulSecteur]

30 psi front and rear. Tonka of 16 stone.
