Single Speed hardtail with front suspension, running Stan's No-Tubes 35-38 psi in front, 38-40 psi in rear, all depending on the conditions as someone said earlier. Also it might help if people gave their weights too, I am 190-195 lbs right now, still a fat a$$ from the winter.

Same here.
I usually run about 40.
I may kick it up to 45.
Another question whats the best way to seat a tubeless tire. I got a slow leak in the rear.
thanks, how does the soap help it seat?Originally posted by ARmtnBIKER
I take an old windex bottle and mix up some dishwashing liquid and water, then spray the bead down good with it and use compressed air. At first I air it up to about 60-65 psi and let it set over night or so, that usually seats them fine... If you're running stan's then the latex should seal it off...
It helps you see what area is losing air, so you can work it until it seats right.Originally posted by stosh

On a slick climb with leaves and other loose debris the 5PSI really does make a noticeable difference. Sometimes, especially during out of the saddle climbing, the lower PSI is the difference between moving forward or spinning on wet leaves. I am not an expert rider but I can feel the difference.Originally posted by I Are Baboon
I am not an advanced enough rider to feel the difference between 45 psi and 50 psi.

All you guys who listed your road bike PSI - what tires? I run 23mm Vittoria Open Corsa at 130 max for temps under 65, 120 for temps over 65. I like a firm tire for speed...
I tried that once and quickly was slapped down with the obvious fact that I have noneOriginally posted by mrbigisbudgood
I find traction through finesse.
Tubulars. I'm too lazy.Originally posted by splat
MT Bike : 35 - 50 PSi , depending on the conditions , and How long it has been since I last pumped them up
road Bike : 140- 160 PSI
If you flat on the road getting them past 90 is not easy - the pumps overheat or blow-off. At home I have a Planet Bike Ozone pump good for 160.Originally posted by stosh
What the hell do you use a Shock pump to pump them up?
Yeah...Originally posted by Serial Midget

At least your bike doesn't get mad when you try to watch TV while messing around with it...
Nice Jericho man, saw it on a post on the MTBR SS BB earlier today... You'll love it with Stan's, you can climb sooo much better on a SS with lower pressure... I've had a couple of bad experiences with cutting tires in the last month so I've had to ride a few times with a tube in the rear, man I cant climb like that anymore, so used to the traction you get with low pressure, feel like all I do is spin out and bounce...Originally posted by bones
