brokeback Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Just starting again after a 12yr break, can't remember the correct tyre pressures for competition use, all replies welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeback Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks Jimmy, I'll try them out, I got myself a nice new Apico 0-15psi gauge that should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 check each tyre 3 or 4 times in succession to get a steady reading. Don't just go on first reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowellsyboy Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
