#AIRSHOT SUPER DROP TRIAL#

I had this fitted as tubeless a week ago. LBS didn't have the same tyre in stock, so I was forced to go with a Specialized Butcher Grid, 27.5 x 2.6. (I wore two out over the 6900 km ridden to date). For some reason, they came out fitted with tubes. I am still on the original front tyre which is a Maxxis Minion DHF Tubeless Ready, Exo 27.5 x 2.60. I have now done just under 7000 km on South Island (NZ) dusty/loose gravel hilly sheep tracks country.

Hi Steve, you seem a very knowledgeable chap and you can save me a lot of trial and error on my tyre pressures on my Giant Trance +1 pro. I go off what it feels like and how it performs then record the pressure. If you have lightweight tyres then add a few psi. He was bubbling with it! I told him to experiment from there because at his weight he could go lower. He later waited for me to tell me how thankful he was. I promised him that if he didn't like it I would pump his tyres up for him again. He would not believe me that 25-30 psi would be better. I met one guy who had over 50psi in each tyre and was complaining about the rough ride. I go off what it feels like and how it performs then record the I have genuinely lost count of the number of riders I have met on the trail that have pressures that are way too high. I weigh 92kg all up and I took into account 's weight for the pressures I recommended. Both are triple compound tyres and come with an alphabet each. I ride tubeless and I have a 29x2.5 WTB Vigilante front and a 29x2.5 Maxxis HRII on the rear.

I ride mostly in the forest with some jumping and rocks.

I use 17f/20r on the trails unless I'm going somewhere rocky. I have genuinely lost count of the number of riders I have met on the trail that have pressures that are way too high.
