| Dec 16, 2010 at 18:02 | comment | added | Narcís Calvet | Ok, I understand. I weight 77 kgs and I'm 183 cms. Anyway, I still use the front pressure at the low end as I feel it gives me much more control in technical descents. I'm doing cross country mountain bike. | |

I recommend setting the tire pressure in the suggested range based on weight. If you are a bigger rider, set it towards the higher end of the range. If you are a smaller rider, set it towards the lower end of the range. If you need more traction, get tires with more tread. | |
