Default Trial Tire Pressure


I've been riding trial for about a week now, but I'm still not sure
about tire pressure. I have the creepy crawler tire and I'm running it
the lowest I can with out bottoming out the rim. Is that going to give
me the most bounce or is there some kind of happy medium where you can
just get a really good bounce. I need the bounce because I'm not very
big so to jump up anything high I have to get the pre bounce. Thanks.

Default Trial Tire Pressure


I have just started getting into trials myself and have been
experimenting the last few nights with this.
I had it too hard when starting so let some out, then it was ok...
thought then maybe i could get more bounce so let more out - ended up
bottoming out the rim... so put more back in, up to 25psi.
When riding last night with 25psi i let a bit more out and its great
again.
I'd say between 20psi and 25psi... 20 bottoms out and 25 is too hard.
Hope that helps.
Peace.

*EDIT*
I'd say closer to 20psi... Just remembered i had let it out to just
under 20.
Maybe give 22a try and see how it goes for you.

Why don't people just post the answers to questions like these rather
than spending time typing out ''use the search''?

It might be annoying, but how are new people gonna know this??

I have my tyre as low as possible, without risking damaging the rim -
you need to work out the right PSI for you by yourself.
