Duro Wildlife Leopard air pressure?
I was wondering what the p.s.i. rating for this tire is, and what pressure do you prefer to ride on, for a 26"x3" MUni tire. I don't have it yet, thought I'd ask. Also is anyone use tube sealants like Slime? I used to get a lot of flats the Slime is doing the trick... -- chrome ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chrome's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12885 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56517 |

I think it's 30-50 psi. play with different pressures and find your own preference. if you're doing a lot of hopping you'll want a pressure that's just enough so it won't bottom out but also bouncy. -- Monocyclist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monocyclist's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13114 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56517 |

Yeah I agree with Monocyclist about the 30-50psi. I do that to my unicycle. I guess it also depends on what you'll be using your unicycle for. Will it be used for Street, MUni, Freestyle, etc -- Hazmat If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try again.

Tire pressure is also very dependent on weight. Just experiment till you find what works for you. It's just air, it's free -- Racenut *Unicycling is easier than falling off a log.

My 24 x 3 Leopard Wildlife is rated at 1 - 2.5 bar (15 - 35 psi), I don't see why that should be different for the 26 x 3. I pump mine to about 22 psi when I think it is too soft, and then leave it alone for at least a month, during which time it deflates some. In the end it boils down to personal preference, also on how high you drop etc. A good starting point is 1 psi per 10 lbs of rider weight. Slime... I never had a flat on any unicycle, and I've been riding for six years. Regardless of whether it would help prevent flats, it would be a bad thing if it adds significant weight. The best place to save weight (if at all possible) is in the wheel, and the more to the outside, the more important. Rim is more important than spokes, tyre is more important than anything else.

I way about 155 pounds (ahem!) and ride mine at about 20 PSI. That's too firm for much bouncing, but gives a good combination of control and absorbing bumps. -- Mikefule If there's one thing I've learned, it's that most people don't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mikefule's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/879 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56517 |
