• I know there's a lot variables but here goes, I've just put 2.1 VRedstein Black Panthers on my bike with regular tubes and I'm 11 stone. What sort of pressures approx. should I been running?
    Cheers

  • Many variables, as you say, but I reckon you could start with 35 psi rear and 30 psi front and go from there.

    I expect you could easily get away with less at that weight :-)

  • Take a pump with you and have a play! If it gets squirmy, put a couple of dabs in......
    I was up the forest today.....it is so dry, the trails have a sand-like quality to them. I, however, had a jelly like quality to my legs.....absolutely nothing in the tank and legs of lead. I think I failed to regulate my temperature early enough, and bonked after about them miles......I still managed 55 though. Albeit very slowly.....
    I got scalped by a bloke on the way back as well.....that just simply never happens! I was cruising along the towpath at about 17-18mph and really struggling, but refusing to accept I was shit today, when I got a chirpy 'ding, ding' from behind....the bugger flew past me with no effort and proceeded to pull a few fucking bunny hops! My shit-legged manflu was temporarily forgotten and I put the hammer down......I was flat out at about 26-27mph, but he was still pulling away.......I caught up with him near broxbourne, where I saw the battery for the electric motor, strapped to the down tube! Bastid!! /0)

  • I'll be about 120psi but will be running Corsa G+ tubs
