    All it really is is personal preference. You want the tire to have
    bounce, but not enough so that the tire folds up and hits the rim. You
    also don't want to much air because that will hurt your jumping and
    your cranks/hub.

    Just put a lot of air in the tire and keep releaseing some gradually to
    what fits you. Air pressure is different for everyone.

  3. Was talking about this with Muniaddict earlier.

    I have the same tyre. Whilst im getting use to it all over again, I
    had it at a high PSI (45).

    However, Iv'e now set it to roughly 36ish PSI (not measured it)..
    That's for me and im about 10stone / 140lbs.

    But as already stated, it's just what ever feels good to you! 🙂

  5. 25 pounds, and i weigh 15 stone. Basically as low as you can go without
    bottoming out the rim or rolling the tyre sideways on landing.
