Another psi question
------------------------------------------------------------------------ A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73418 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Question: 18, 19, or stop worrying - Go with 18 psi - Go with 19 psi - Stop worrying about your psi and run at what you like. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey guys, I have been riding trials for a long time now and most of my records have been hit with 18 psi, for some odd reason everytime I go above 18, jumping gets a lot higher. I feel like I can get my full compression with 18 psi, but 19+psi feel just too hard. What I'm so worried about is bottoming out and breaking a rim. I can honestly say that I rarely do huge drops on my unicycle, and I'm pretty good at rolling out. So would it be such a big deal if I stuck with 18 psi. SHould I stop worrying and run at whatever I like? -- hungry4uni If only all bikes were cut in two 'My Videos' (http://www.youtube.com/user/mthomasdpm) *'My Sponsor' (www.sixsixone.com/)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hungry4uni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16147 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73418 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

It is not that odd, Ryan Atkins likes his psi high and he is an amzing rider...

Another psi question
The "correct" tire pressure is a factor of your weight, rim size, tire width, tire depth, tire/tube thickness, and how hard you jump. In other words, what's right for you might not even be close for someone else. And it might be different if you switch to a different tire or rim. And are tire pressure gauges really that accurate? In my experience, no.

Another psi question
I just went out and hit my record twice in a row. My first psi reader said my psi was at 18 (which is what I wanted it at) my next psi reader said it was at 17psi.*-B-u-t-*- I have now decided that I'm going to run at 17 psi. I like 17 psi, I feel like I can get a decent compression, I don't often do big drops and most of them are to grass, so I don't think bottoming out is such a worry. I'd really like to know what you guys think about this^ I'd love to ride at 17 psi. -- hungry4uni If only all bikes were cut in two 'My Videos' (http://www.youtube.com/user/mthomasdpm) *'My Sponsor' (www.sixsixone.com/)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hungry4uni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16147 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73418 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
