I’ve had fat bikes, 29+, 26, road etc but never B+
I’m thinking high teens? 18-20psi -ish?
It’s not for me, I just need a rough setup pressure
Cheers!

18 in the rear on a (Skinny) 2.8 on 35mm rim, 16 in the front (3.0 Nobby Nic)

I weigh 200lbs in kit.

Just picked him be up a week or so ago. 1st rise I went for 16. It arrived with 20 as the set up though. Got a slow flat on the rear on that ride so I’d say below 16 probably too soft

16 front 18 rear is where mine tends to stay.

Can't remember where I got the values from but 12 front/16 back for me at 13 stone. Probably as easy to pick a couple of values and see how it goes. Any formula is only a starting point anyway.

A search reveals [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/plus-sized-tyre-pressure ]I asked a similar question[/url] on here just over a year ago!

12 front, 15 back seems about right for a big fella... anything more loses the advantage of the plus size IMHO

I'd agree with the above. If unsure I'd probably start around 15psi and adjust from there. Off top of head I think I'm around 12 and 15 right now for 80kg raw on 2.8's in the Dark Peak.

I run 12 front 15 rear, I was told somewhere front 1 psi less than your weight in stone and rear plus 2 psi on your weight. I'm 13 stone and bizarrely it seems to work
