Tubeless 26" Tyres. What pressure?

NeilM · Feb 10, 2015

Following on from my 'what tyres' thread, thanks for all the suggestions, in the end I went with Rocket Rons, which is what I have on my 29er.

So, what pressure should I run them at?

More than my other 26" bikes? Less?

As low as they don't start to crease , I run about 24 in mine (sometimes it gets down to 18 ish ) and I'm about 11/1/2 stone

Re:

Good starting point is 25 then, as I'm around the same weight.... ish.

A good rule of thumb is twice your weight in stones, +2 psi on the rear, -2 psi on the front.
Then work from that.
FWIW I run anywhere from about 14psi up to 40, depending on the tyres I'm using, where I'm riding and what I'm trying to achieve. (2.5" tyres at 14 psi have rather a lot of grip!)

That theory stacks up for me...so thats 50psi on the rear and 46 on the front!

No but seriously that works for me too...
