BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 just changed my tire pressure from 5 pound to 2.5 and what a difference! i guess it makes sense that more traction basically equals out to more speed, instead of spinning! im gonna try it at around 1.5 - 2 pounds tomorrow and see what diff..... i still cant get over how much better shee RIPPED!!

RUDEDAWG Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Good for straight line traction but be carefull that you don't take too much air out or you could run into problems on sharp turns on hard pack ground. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 did you change it after reading my tire PSI post or was this just something you decided to do? Quote
BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 did you change it after reading my tire PSI post or was this just something you decided to do? well i had been meaning to check the psi for a while, and i was thinking about lowering it ....but i did read a post about psi today, if it was yours then i think u had your tires at like 1psi or lower....so yah i guess i was bored and reading ur post triggered an experiment ahah peace!

nayr742003 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 I have ran 3 psi for awhile now and yeah loco i read your post about it to. The trails around here and hills are full of alot of rocks and roots so hooking up is a big issue. Tight turns in some places but not to much so i could run it lower if i wanted to. Quote
