I was wondering what tyre preasures we're running on I'm a solo rider (unfortunately) with a weight of 150/160 lbs and they tyre preasures is 2,5 front and 2,6 rear ( dunlop sportmax qualifier II) a bike shop said I should be on 3,0, but I think is to much any one could correct me if I'm wrong? Thanks |

Don't know about that specific tire, but what I run in every tire I've used on the Uly is: Front: 2,5 (36 psi) Rear: 2,6 (38 psi) Just like you thought! IMHO 3,0 is way too high. And of course in the gravel perhaps 1,7 or so... --Doc |

My manual says 36 psi all the way around no matter what the load. |

It says 34psi in front and 36psi in rear on my frame so that is what I run. |

I'm 36/38 on 616s, all three bags, '06 UlyX. Seems to keep the treadwear as even as possible...but around 10 or 11k the front tire gets a little goofy so I change it |

One way to tell that the tire pressure is right for you and the way you ride is to look for a 10% gain from cold to hot. So if you started with 38# cold you'd want to have 41.8 (okay 42) after the tires warm up. This allows for load, driving style and outside temp. |
