May 19, 200917 yr Just starting again after a 12yr break, can't remember the correct tyre pressures for competition use, all replies welcome
May 19, 200917 yr For adult rider on Michelin's would suggest 4 psi rear, front 5.5psi Get good quality low pressure gauge. If weather warms up check a few times as can easily rise 1/2 psi
May 19, 200917 yr Author Thanks Jimmy, I'll try them out, I got myself a nice new Apico 0-15psi gauge that should do the trick
May 19, 200917 yr check each tyre 3 or 4 times in succession to get a steady reading. Don't just go on first reading
May 19, 200917 yr I have IRC tyres and run the back at between 2 1/2 - 3 psi if there is no rocks and go up to 3 1/2 if there is lots of rocks. I run the front at 4 1/2 in all conditions unless is really muddy and then drop to 4.
May 19, 200917 yr Author The bike I am getting has those new Michelin Light tyres on it, anybody got experience of pressures for them??
May 19, 200917 yr Have been informed that the first batch of Raga Reps do not have the Michelin Lights fitted.
May 19, 200917 yr Author You are joking!!, dam I hope everything else is to spec or its an expensive gold paint job
