[ryturn]

What psi are you useing in tubeless set up ? How low can you go on the Butchers ?

20 on the front, I weigh 80kg

 

[gipsy]

1.4 front and rear.. 82kg

1.4 front and rear.. 82kg

Thanks gypsy but not sure what 1.4 is ? We run on PSI usually above 28 psi is hard running tubeless you should be to go down into low 20 and lower

 

[salko]

1,4 bar = 20,3 psi

 

[rodomotion]

90 kg, 22 front, 26 rear.

 

[Paul Mac]

Running tubless, 20 psi front and 25 rear, weigh 78kg

 

[gipsy]

20 psi front and back, but I did test it it down to 15psi back and 12 front and I like it most like that.
It is most comfortable pressure and beautiful feeling to ride it like that but rims are in danger.
My stile of riding is XC, no jumps, hard landings...

Forgot to say, 22 rear with an Eliminator 2.6.

Well, at least until last saturday. This happened.

 

[Mcharza]

MM 2.6 front and 1.2 Maxxis HDR II 2.6 rear 1.4 about. 83 kg total weight

22psi front and rear. Seems ok in the wet conditions, actually think the butcher's aren't a bad tyre.

just as a comparison I run with tubes and mostly use 25 front 27 rear ( I weight 78kg). Never had a puncture or damaged rim and I find grip is fine. My rides are natural forest trails with drops and ramps but nothing huge and little in the way of rock. On rocky rides elsewhere ( e.g. Wales/Peak District) I ran 28/30...again grip was fine despite it being wet as well...no punctures no rim damage.

Thanks , running Cushcore too at 95kg this is great information

Haven't had the butchers in the wet yet but in dry they hang in well so far actually fairly happy with them

I run a DHF 2 on front at 17psi
And a Butcher on rear at about 15psi.
With cushcore in both!.. never had a problem.. and I ride verry rough Rocky terrain. Mostly of the year, dry and dusty.
Tim.
P.S. ..forgot to mention.. I'm about 88kg, with all my kit.

I run 18psi front and back for general riding. If I know a trail has lots of loose gravel I go as low as 14 for the extra traction on sketchy surfaces.
