I have a Kenda Klaw XT and normally I ride on bicycle paths and sidewalk for my commutes to work. For 200 kilometers I ran tire presure at 35 psi For 100 kilometers I ran tire presure at 50 psi. The 50 psi has been great but still seams soft so I'm going to bump it to 60psi. My hope is I will have better luck idling and improved turning. I notice no difference from tire presure when bunny hopping yet. What tire presure are others running at ? -- legtod2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ legtod2's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15732 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

If you're riding on the road a lot, you should really try the Schwalbe Big Apple. A slick tire will turn far better on the road than any knobby tire. The Kenda tire I have seemed squishy in all the wrong ways for a unicycle. I think I used to run it at about 25-30 psi offroad, but it never felt good on the road. Lately I've been running a WTB Exiwolf at 25 psi. It rolls well on the road for a knobby tire and still handles reasonably rough terrain. I rolled it off of a 2 foot drop once and landed a bit sideways, and it made a *thwap* kind of sound. So I think that's about the limit. For reference, I weigh around 140 lbs. -- phlegm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phlegm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8382 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

My commute to work this morning was in 3cm of snow. This is where the Kenda Klaw tire really SHINES. Snow plows where out too. Snow did not stick to my tires. Riding up hills and bridges where a bit of a challenge. Going down hills, bridges and snow covered grassy hills equally fun. Had my elbow pads and helmet on, light running jacket and sweat pants on. No UPD, no issues, lots of fun. My 29" went thru this stuff no problems. Thanks to my tire and new snafu pedals, riding was amazing. -- legtod2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ legtod2's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15732 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I had my first long 29er ride tonight probably around 6 miles around town. I got it last night and got it all set up. I am in love  i think this is about the perfect wheel size nimble and fun plus fast. i finally know what the corker riders where talking about how turns carry you through -- qhxakg If somebody tells you your tricks are gay, ask them if they are an expert in gay trickery. -Ivan- ~o"o~'Unicycle for The Flying Spaghetti Monster' (http://www.venganza.org/)~o"o~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ qhxakg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15672 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
