Having spent some time reading through all the recent tyre thread leads me as a novice to, I imagine, ask another age old and related question.
Hybrid Misquote
"I've found on the DR650 fitted with E07 if you lower the pressure to about one bar that Mount Everest can be readily climbed and by orally sucking the pressure to minus two bar (strong rims required and more risk of rubber ingestion than the average Manchester Street working girl) black holes are possible as long as you don't lean too aggressively"
There has been quiet a lot of stuff in the tyre thread related to off road prsssures, some that seem very low. What pressures to run at off road?
The sticker on the frame of my Japper import Dakar is suggesting about only about 2lbs less front and rear for off road. What views out there?
The current tyres are run very square; lots left on the edges; normal with off road use? Maybe it is just that it was previously owned by a Tokyo urban street warrior with not much out of town use; I suspect the latter as when I took it for my first spin the mirrors blew in at anything much above 90.
What about pumps for putting pressure back in on a ride? I have plenty of MTB pumps but has anyone done a NZ version of the modified Walmart 12v air pump as on ADVrider?
