Duro Wildlife Leapord tire pressure
Big downhill tyres like the Duro have much stiffer sidewalls than an xc
29er tyre, so you can run them at lower pressures. In fact, if you run
them as hard as an xc tyre they feel far too stiff. If...

weight. Then adjust it up or down depending on how and where you ride.

Idea for a brake for my 28" unicycle
Don't worry about weakening the frame - it's a common modification
(mostly on cokers, but a 29er frame is no different at the crown) and
nobody has snapped a frame because of it as far as I...

Muni suggestions Plzzzz
I'll put in another vote for a 26", probably with 150mm cranks. With a
3" tyre it's very nearly the same diameter as a 29er, but better on
rocks. A 29er is lighter (due to the skinnier tyre) but...
