  • wth a higher tire pressure on rough terrain the tire will want to bounce back against the direction of the object it hits. This is why higher tire pressure on rough terrain will actually slow you down.

    With a lower pressure the tire deforms around the object with less ''bounce back'' and better traction.

    I wish some people would hold off on their comments before speaking out against proven advice.

  • is this guy's name spooky lol i use a gas station pump 150 psi lmao yeah 35 or 40 is cool

  • is this guy's name spooky lol

  • i ride sing between 50 and 70 psi but it says between 45-65. you can usually go over a little and your fine

  • i love riding on really low PSI on my trials it makes it bouncy too

  • if your on rough stuff i think lower tire pressure will make you go faster, just like having a bike with suspension makes you go faster on rough stuff. but for sure if your just riding on a road or something, then high tire pressure and no suspension will make you go fastest.

  • yeah kevin, the harder it is the more it'll roll, this guy is wrong, lol

  • Lol, mavic hubs blow, really badly, 240 hubs are epic.
