ninjaboot said:I run mine high, I run between 50 and 60. I used to flat all the time, but now I use the slime lites with extra pressure and have not flatted in at least the last 20 races.
For me, these conditions call for a psi on the high end (40-45), which is higher than what I'm used to here in New England for rocky, rootsy, muddy stuff (30ish).bonk-O-matic said:The race I'm entering is mostly fire road type conditions with tons of climbing and not very technical decending.
28-31psi. depends on the race.bonk-O-matic said:What tire pressure do you race with? I know this depends on race conditions and rider weight. The race I'm entering is mostly fire road type conditions with tons of climbing and not very technical decending. Some people I know race the course with a tire pressure of 60lbs with tubes and others race with stan's at 25lbs. Any suggestion? Rolling resistance is most important to me. Thanks-
first off, pressure gauges can vary and be uncalibrated, so one person's 38 PSI may be someone elses 42 (or whatever). A tuned in rider can most likely feel a difference between the two, so I agree with all the people that said stick with what you do now. That way no pinch flat suprises(too low), and or harsh feel/bad handling on the bike(too high).bonk-O-matic said:What tire pressure do you race with?

Have you ridden the bike?EliM said:Wow.. I run 18-20 in both tires and haven't flatted in months.
