Changed to tubeless today ..so was keen to see what the bike could do at my local trail centre ( Kielder )...
With wider internal rims and no tubes started out with 20.5 psi on the rear and 18 front which was still to firm ..
The forks and shock needed some tweaking so everything has been adjusted slightly for tomorrow's Bolts Law ride..
The bike is way more capable than how I'm currently riding.. both up and down ...but quick ..fk me is it quick !
Now have a digital pressure gauge ...which should help get things right!
Let's see what tomorrow brings ...

So go on ...on your way now,but know you're not alone.Dark sails cruise through these waters ..in the pond of memories...

A bit more psi and the bike will be even faster maybe. Glad you are enjoying it.

Not really G ...they are higher volume tyres ..at the pressures I tried yesterday they were still rock solid ..still experimenting at the moment and I have only come down a couple of psi...trial and error but if I wash out I will remember what you said ...!!

I don't doubt they are hard to the accurate "finger-pressing" test...my reason for saying that was, you can damage the rims, it might be a bit draggy, and burping...under fast cornering it can cause a few problems. But like you say, trial and testing.

Worse comes to worst do what Glynn did!? Besides actually getting the tires on the rims, the new wheels went up first time. i never had a problem before on the Mavic's too.
