oldyam Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 What pressure should i use in a X - Light rear, do i need slightly more in say 5psi or is 4-4.5 ok, not used an X-light before and mostly ride rocks/beck sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoben12 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 the x light is a softer compound and has thin sidewalls. so its more likely to have a punture.if you're riding fast long trails pump it up to 7-9 psi. 5 psi would be perfect you could even take it down to 3 in the mud hope this helps, ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbeta23 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I run my rear X light at 5 PSI, If you run it to soft you end up with it getting cuts in the sidewall, Mine has three in one side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldyam Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Wrong side of 15 stone, been using Dunlops run at 4psi with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 me too I run at 4.5 to 5 and am not hard on tyres. Dont get many more punctures on x lites maybe a couple but not significantly more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I ride on rocky/concrete stuff a lot. Any tyre gets cut up side walls. Just be gentle on the hard stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
