I run mine at 20 and 25 psi. I weigh 225 lbs and it has been ages since I had a pinch flat! I use Michelin Wild grip'r DH tires that are 62-559 or Kenda nevegal "Tomac" 67-559 just because I like how they feel and I really don't care about the weight of the tire or the extra drag since I'm not competing professionally and those few tenths of a second per run don't make a difference (if there where any). Back to the tire pressure... I have always liked to run low psi in all my Bike tires and I stopped getting pinch flats about 13-14 years ago when I started putting baby powder inside the tire before putting the tube in it. it works! I have busted rims and the tube has come out intact!
Planning a trip there this December... Hopefully everything goes as planned.
On the down side I don't know anybody there so I wouldn't know where to go! Lol
I'm planning a trip to Guatemala this coming November and according to my friends there it's not safe to do anything there anymore. It's been a while since I was there and almost 10 years since I did any DH there. Should I take my bike there? is it wort it? I'm planning on being there 2 months. (hablo espanol)
