Because of this (and because of my higher weight), I opt for a slightly higher pressure. On bikes with 29 x 2.5” tires and an EXO casing, I ride 25 psi (1.72 bar) in the front and 28 psi (1.93 bar) in the back. This offers enough grip without my rides ending in punctures ...
Outrider 正在 Kickstarter 上為 Outrider: A Tire Pressure Sensor For Bikes 籌款! A low cost, Garmin-compatible device to keep you safe and optimize your tire performance on the trail
There are a ton of factors that affect optimal tire pressure for your mountain bike, ranging from terrain, to the kind of tires you run, to your own personal riding preferences. Tubeless mountain bike tire pressure is slightly different from rider who are still running tubes, as well. The ...
What’s the Best Tire Pressure for Gravel Bikes?Every tire manufacturer has a pressure limit that governs smooth operations by your tire. It is also based on a number of factors such as weight, tire width, terrain, and other crucial factors....
Unlike roadies, mountain bikes are flying over loose, bumpy terrain. Tires with too much air lead to too much bounce, making for a jolty ride. Lower pressure helps with shock absorption while also giving you more traction since more of the tire comes into contact with the ground. MTB manuf...
A parents’ guide to why tire pressure matters and how road vs trail riding is different. Tire pressure is important to a kid's riding experience. A properly inflated tire will make the bike perform better, and help reduce the risk of flat tires. The
We’ve all read the recommended pressure stamped on the sidewalls of tires. It’s a good idea to keep the tires on your motorized vehicle within those levels for better gas mileage and handling. But just like 4×4 off roading, mountain bikes should be run soft. The question is how ...
The warm pressure should be 10% higher (for front tires) and 20% higher (for rear tires) than the factory’s setting. If the number is less than that, give your bikes 2-3 hours to cool down, then release some air. How to Know Your Tires Are Under-/Over-Inflated If You Don’t ...
Getting tire pressure right is super important for Mountain Bike riders. Too much and you have no grip, too little and the tires will drag.
Minuses: all that rubber is heavy; self-steer issues on off-camber trails; hard to balance tire pressure to prevent both squirm and bounce; wide pedal stance can bother some riders; squirmy in high-load situations; limited to mostly rigid bikes or hardtails; the faster you go, the weirder...
