the harder they are the smoother they roll,your better using a proper floor pump too.

60 front 80 rear on my NS race bikes  :daumenhoch:
if its old school I would run  just enough to keep the rims off the floor as no one runs a chain on them so they arent going anywhere  :LolLolLolLol:
 :) DINGO :)

For old school tyres around 45 psi, comp pools and new school tyres around 60 to 80 psi depending on what terrain you are riding :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away

Yeah deffo no less than 80 on New skool stuff ( you can put 120 psi in most )and you,ll roll fast as fook in a park  :daumenhoch:(only a true reading with a proper track pump ,about  £12 worth every penny ). but ol, skool tuffs I,d say around only 40 ish coz it says so on most tyres and they,d probably split a gumwalled tyre with anything more
