Psi?

[barch]

Here's one I've not seen addressed...

Any recommendations for a beginner as far as tire pressure for street
use?

the lowest you can pull off without hitting the rim. i'm a pretty big
guy (6'4 180 lbs) and on my 19x2.5 tire i run something like 22 psi for
street, a little less if i'm not doing big drops. it'll vary on a ton
of stuff, mostly your weight, so experiment and find one that works for
you.

well dont do what i did... the very begging i had it at like 12 psi if
not a little lower... just cuase it was REALLY bouncy... but once i
filled it up to about 18-20 and learned how to compress the tire.. my
hops got alot huger..

Do you mean "street" as in "street freestyle", bouncing up on benches
and ledges and such, or do you mean you're just a beginning unicyclist
riding on the streets?

The advice you've gotten so far is for the former. If you're the
latter, I generally recommend riding with the pressure as high as the
tire will go.

I ride at 20 psi or so, and what the tire says doesn't matter.
