Re: Airing down for the trail

Great question, hope we all can help.

Years ago in Arizona and down in Mexico on soft sand I'd go down to 15 PSI. Never got stuck. But airing up with the whimpy 12V compressors we had took forever.

On trails in Colorado I've run them at street pressures. At last years Summit I was asked to go to 25 PSI. No problems on the trails or driving a few miles on pavement getting back to town.

Then in Moab last month I took them down to 20 PSI, again no problems to report.

I don't know what you are facing on your trails. But if you have an air compressor that works well, or access to air at a gas station near, I'd think that 20-25 PSI should get you a good starting point.

Good luck to you and post pictures after!
