As the title says, what pressure is standard to you ? I Have been sticking with 35 psi.
2.4 at the front with 25psi and 2.3 at the back with 30psi.
Both can be give or take depending on the conditions.
22 front, 24 rear
29er riding routes and rocks around Yorkshire and weigh about 90-95kg with kit.
25 front, 30 rear. Rarely check tyre pressure so often riding below those figures. Both tyres are Spez 2.3 Pergs
There is an equation (Stan's) that gives recommended pressure to weight.
5psi in the snow, 10 otherwise
20-25 in 2.1" ish tyres.
22 in the front, had it as low as 10 before with no problems and 25 at the rear.
HR2 front and rear 18 psi in front 15 in rear its a mud fest out there in the forest
20 front 25 back, rubber queen and crossmark respectively
UST versions
Trail Centres I'll go as high as 35-40 especially if there's lots of climbing involved. Natural trails I'd generally aim for 27 front 30 rear in wet wintery conditions.
Round about 20 ish, Maxxis HR 2 2.35 and I weigh 65kg
30 front 35 rear
Most of the time theyll be around 30psi or i run the risk of smashing the rims up on the rocky trails round here.
30 at the front and 35 rear here also, on normal rides, which are a mixture of mostly road, cycle paths and offroad mud, earth and roots.
When I go to a trail centre, cannock for eg, I drop the front to 20 and rear to 25. I don't like that sqidgy feeling tyre if I'm cycling on roads and prefer more grip at trail centres.
The greater the volume the lower the pressure for me.
All tyres are 2.35 and have some form of puncture protection which tends to give the sidewalls a bit more beef.
26 - 22F 24R
27.5 - 20F 22R
29 - 18F 20R
For wet, rooty mud type rides I might be tempted to drop a touch and i'll maybe add a little for fast swoopy berm trails.... if I remember and can be arse, only ever a couple of psi in either direction.
It depends on how heavy you are, Shirley? Or as Hans Rey once said "approx 37.2 psi"

Correct (and don't call me Shirley).
Psi depends on the weight of you, your bike and the tyre volume AND what you're getting up to. Only way to find out what suits you sir is to take a pump and gauge out with you on a ride and try different psi.
30 PSai in ma Minions, Don't care about your opinions.
😉
Hans dampfs. 22 up front, 26 at the rear.

Or Anglicised, twice your weight in stone, then - 1 (front) or + 2 (rear). Best starting point I've found, then tweak up and down depending on how the bike feels. I'm at 22F/26R in the dry, up to 20% lower as it gets wetter/muddier.
About this range depending on a variety of stuff but never less than 30 psi or they burp.
34-37 psi front
38-42 psi rear
I recently converted to tubeless, i brought one of these:

and found out that my track pump 20psi was actually about 16psi!!! rolled around abit! Now run 20psi front & 21psi rear (maybe a little lower for woodsy, rooty local fun rides).
All on a 120mm HT, local XC riding, FoD etc
The same as with tubes...
Weight 100kg, 2.25-2.5 EXOS, 25 front 30 rear.
Well I'm definitely going to drop a bit of pressure and give that a go.
Worth experimenting, low pressures can provide a lot more traction.
22f 24r 29er 2.3/2.2
20-25 front (less for suspension, more for rigid or rockier trails)
25 rear
I'm 17.5 stone. 2.0 or 2.1" 29er tyres on Arch EX
Both tubeless
Front Conti MK 18psi
Rear spesh ground control 24psi
I do find the MK to bouncy though, the sidewalls are to big for me.
