Just installed a rigid fork on my Unit, it has WTB Mutano 2.4's and my question is how much air pressure should I put to have a nice ride; I weight 200#.
Air pressure, how much?

Enough to keep from pinch flatting. I know that that isn't a "good" answer, but a lot of it is feel. if you ride smoother trails, then you need less pressure. more technical trails, you need more pressure.
A good place to start, is what you run in your squishy bikes, then adjust from there.

Nice looking bike.
Pressure differs for riders based on weight, riding style and terrain. I'd start where you normally run it for a hardtail and back it off on a typical ride until it feels right. For me, my 26" wheels feel best at 30-35 psi and my 29er at 25-30 psi depending on terrain. I'm ~155-160lbs.

Thanks, I rode it with the squishy locket out at 40psi and was painful.
Will try 35 to see what happens, hate pinch flats. I usually ride in places with lots of rocks and roots.
Also will replace the lock ons with an ergonomic rubber grip to see if that smoothens things a bit more.
