So we still think in psi eh? What about you young guys - kpa the way to go?
Riding older bikes and dirtbikes,my thinking on tyre pressures is biased.
25psi rear and 20psi front on my road bikes....3 or 4 psi on the trials bikes,used to run 8 psi flat tracking,off road is a compromise between traction and damage...20 to 25 rear,15 to 20psi front.
Off road low pressures mean traction - when flat tracking 1/2 psi was a big difference,we would increase the pressure to take the bite out of a sticky track.
If I put the recomended pressures in my Honda (32psi) it starts to slide,so down they go again - squirming around on soft tyres is no probs for me....don't go fast enough for them to overheat.
