@snowyseb, hi, I ride a 26" tire so I'm not too sure what you would need. It is always best to experiment. With rocky trails, you'll need enough air in them so you will not pinch flat if you hit them hard. It also depends on how hard you ride.
@snowyseb, if you were on a 24", 26" and 29" wheel with the same tires, they would all be at different pressures to achieve the same tire patch size when you sat on the bike. Fill up enough air into your tire so you see that it flattens a bit when you sit on the bike. Go from there to add or reduce pressure.
@Mtbnski3, if your getting pinch flats, you need to add more air pressure in your back tire. If you jump your bike, it will pinch flat when landing on a hard surface with low air pressure. Make sure you check the inside of your tire for thorns if you have them in your area...
@colapuaky, hello - I guess that is a good way to determine if the vids are good on Ytube. I've had a few thumbs down, but I think those are from intermediate riders that have not seen the homepage where it states that these videos are for NEW riders. Have fun and be safe!
@saltyninja01, you need to determine how much needs to go in based on the size tire your running, the trail and the type of riding that you are doing. If you have sharp rocks, you will need higher pressure so you do not pinch flat. Stand over the bike and when you have your weight over the tire, it should compress a bit. If it doesn't, let some air out. If it compresses too much, you are more likely to flat and will loose some control in the turns.

What would a good DH pressure for a 24" tire, and I'm 60kgs. The track the I mostly ride is dry and rocky.

@HealthyNactive Well, the track isn't as rocky as you'd think, and there's more parts like burms and jumps.
The 24' and the 26' wouldn't alter immensely would it?

I get a pinch flat in my back tire almost every ride. Then again I do have a hardtail.

Are pinch flats the same as "snake bites" ?
Lepiratepoulpe 10 months ago
@Lepiratepoulpel, I've never heard of Snake Bites, but a pinch flat does cause a few small holes like a snake bite

Yes, I'm in the Youtube partnership program now and they do not allow music on your videos if it is not yours. So, I cut out the music...
I'll be posting a few more vids in a few weeks.
