I do if I carry a bag of cement in my backpack.Geezus, does everyone on RB weigh 80-89kg?!?!
Only if you cut my legs off.Geezus, does everyone on RB weigh 80-89kg?!?!
I'm looking like the lightweight at 67kg !Geezus, does everyone on RB weigh 80-89kg?!?!
I stupidly sold my 26" Minions years ago thinking they were too heavy and now only have 26" cheese cutters. I'll pull a bit out of the front, and run with 32ish rear, and put my best smooth face on.Go the cheese cutters! I'm running 25-32psi on trail, if it's really rocky I might get up to 35psi. But I'd be rolling a minion, high roller, or very similar tyre in a 2.3-2.5. I am a similar weight to yourself and rarely have issue with flats. I did get one recently after a pretty savage case! So it's either technique or I don't ride very rocky rock gardens. So obviously I'm really hardcore and smooth and you're a noob getting pinch flats on a pebblecrete drive way?
Soft legs...or so I hear. I'm a ploough.I stupidly sold my 26" Minions years ago thinking they were too heavy and now only have 26" cheese cutters. I'll pull a bit out of the front, and run with 32ish rear, and put my best smooth face on.
You can usually run less on the front but I took my full rigid out last week for a 50km ride, ran about 34 in the rear and 30 in the front, my dry weight is about 83kg. On the way home trying to beat the rain back I nailed a few rock drains that the council had made out of blue stone rocks the size of bowling balls and heard the rear rim ping, thought it would have flatted for sure but I didn't, it might have helped that I ran a thicker dh tube on the rear but it made a hell of a ping noise.So I'm riding a bike with tubes for the first time in 4 years this weekend. Pretty narrow trail style rims running an Ardent 2.25 front and Crossmark 2.1 rear. I used to run ~40lbs in those suckers.
I put them up to 31 front and rear and they feel hard as hell! I don't want to make them harder, a couple of turns on the dirt out the back reveals that pressure is sketchy compared to my toobless. I hope I don't pinch flat, will carry a pump, tube and kit (usually don't) this weekend in case.
@pink poodle I've seen some posts that suggest you still run tubes, what pressures would you run on these sorts of tyres? I am 95kg and on a good rock garden I would pinch flat 40+ psi often pre-tubeless.
I'm running 22 front and 24 rear on the 2.4f 2.3r Maxxis High Roller 2 on the new bike. It's bloody fantastic, over nearly 4 years of tubeless I've gone from 26 front and 32 rear when I first got them
I have tubes and as big plus, I never leak any sealant. I haven't had a flat for a very long time <touch wood>. I suspect the bigger tubeless tyres plus a tube give great protection for JRA rides.You can usually run less on the front but I took my full rigid out last week for a 50km ride, ran about 34 in the rear and 30 in the front, my dry weight is about 83kg.

Thread digging, but I'm the same weight and wondering if you're running those pressure with or without cushcores?105kg nude except for a slice of pizza on my belly button
