advice needed on what psi i should be running my tyres at. For genral xc use. I think its 45psi is that correct?
cheers
Whatever feels right for what you do
There is a school of thought that suggests contis need higher pressures to work than other tyres. 45 sounds a bit high but it depends on a lot of factors including your weight.
FWiW I run mine at 40 rear and 35 front or thereabouts
thanks. tandem ill give that a go
Conti say 50 but 45 works well for me
thanks surfr
I ran 2.1" Speed King Supersonics at 30!
I go a lot lower than that - maybe 30 on the front (never actually measure), but if it were rocky around here I would be getting punctures because they are quite flimsy tyres. To be honest the novelty has worn off now (very low weight, fast rolling) and I'll be going back to a more chunky all-rounder that I can run soft more reliably.
