carving bowls with low psi in the tire?
dude...:
would tyre sidewall thickness be a factor in this? i know youve been running skinny lightweight race style tyres before blue. maybe you could get away with lower psi with tyres that have more substantial support on the sides?
i run like 50-60 psi normally, anything more feels disgusting for hops and stuff, but yeah more pressure deffos feels better for bowls and stuff. i just dont ride transitions and stuff enough to merit it though so i go for what feels best for everything else
Prodigal Son:
You don't think smashing through a berm on race tires is equivalent to carving a bowl?
dude...:
yeah but what pressure do racers run? with low psi i bet theyre a lot squishier than tyres with thicker sidewalls
Oddity:
My Donnasqueaks feel ducking terrible carving around the bowl with anything under 70psi. Could be 2.25" on the rear or that I weigh 210lb.
