Duro Wildlife Leapord tire pressure
If you run a big downhill tyre like the Duro in a tubeless setup you can keep the same pressure to resist bottoming out and making it roll easily while making it smoother over lumps and bumps... -- phil "Cattle Prods solve most of life's little problems." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phil's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/915 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75363 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Duro Wildlife Leapord tire pressure
I reckon a good starting pressure is about 1psi per 10lbs of rider weight. Good suggestion. I run the Intense DH 3" at 15-20# for my 200# weight, the lower setting (15#) is better for slow, muddy stuff, esp when cold, then I bump up to 20# when things warm up and I do more drops. My son rides the Wildlife at he's running ~12-15# this winter and his weight is ~115#. Note that rim width plays a part too, where a wider profile will flatten out your tire, so I would think that a shorter sidewall would lead to a stiffer ride at lower pressures. I'd add a thumbs up for the Intense DH 3" tire, it is hands above more stabile than the Wildlife and just as grippy, plus very long wearing. On the downside, lighter riders like my son can't abide them cuz they are a wee bit on the stiff side. -- Nurse Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nurse Ben's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17487 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75363 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
