What sort of tyre pressures do MTBers run these days?
Just under 30 PSI on a 2.55 weirwolf 29er, on Velocity blunt rims. Using a rim strip means I havent saved much weight. But the added traction on soft stuff, plus th reduced 'bounce' on lumpy stuff. Makes it more than worth it.
Going on my MTB experiance alone, I'd go for the widest rim possible, which is also tubeless specific. But I'm no CX rider.
(Put tubes back in now. Going to get a faster rear tyre for next spring)
