I feel like I'm actually hopping higher with hard tires because I feel it's slightly "quicker/easier" to pull up. All though I hate every other aspect of super hard tires (riding around 45-60PSI Front-Back)

montymitch:
Lately I've been rolling with what feels best. I don't want to feel or be aware of any part of my bike. If the tires are rock hard and jarring my wrists, it's not good. If they are soft and I can feel them rolling around under me, it's not good. As far as bunnyhopping goes, I feel like I can hop higher with hard tires since they are absorbing less of my energy. I haven't every checked though--its just a seat-of-the-pants feeling.

dude...:
i think about 55 is what feels best to me, i pump em up to about 60 then leave them until manuals feel really sluggish (which is about when it drops to 40) then pump them up again

Thats exactly what i do. Anything between 60 and 40 feels good to me. When im picky i pump like 5psi more on the front.
