Re: Airing down for the trail
To get the maximum tread to form around an obstacle, to get the most traction. you must air down. You're talking anywhere from 5lbs to 15lbs depending on desity of the trail.and the softness of you tire.. For instance: sand you need to air down to float on top, Rocks air down to mold your tire to the rock for traction. for mud ,water I personaly like a stiffer tire, max air.. alot of times I dont even air down just knowing the trails I am going to ride. I do carry onboard air so its up to me to decide each time I ride. I know one time, did not air down until I ran into a sand hill climb. had to then, got stuck every time I tried to climb that hill at full air. I always ask if any one knows the trail to make that call..
