The Significance Of Tire Pressure In MTB Bikes

Article Category: Sports

Author Name: Noah Williams

Tire pressure is an extremely important facet of riding any sort of bike, including mtb. By finding out the best ways to set the tire pressure, you can offer yourself more control and assist to make your trip alot smoother.

If the tire pressure is too low, then you will discover that it is much more challenging to cycle and it can increase the possibility of a flat, too due to pinching of the tube against the rim when riding over hard things like tree roots or rocks. Tire pressure that is too high can make your trip really bumpy and out of control. There are also those that argue too much pressure reduces grip on your riding surface.

Tire pressure can differ from person to person, due to the fact that it is dependent upon the individual preference of the rider, the tire's condition, and the surface that you will be riding on. Tire pressure can be quickly adjusted merely by using a high quality mini pump on the tires.

The manufacturer of the tire will have an advised tire pressure for your certain tires and this is where you can start. You can then adjust the tire pressure as required from there.

A tire pressure gauge is an important part of keeping your tires at the maximum pressure. Using your mini pump and gauge you can adjust your tires while out and about riding as both items are lightweight and easy to take with you.

It is best to use the exact same tire pressure gauge and pump when you examine your tires, since you may get various readings depending upon the tire pressure gauge that you select.

An excellent guideline is to start with a greater tire pressure for your bike. This means that you wish to be around 40-50 psi (3-3.5 bar), and then lower the tire pressure a little at a time to discover which tire pressure is best for your certain bike, terrain, and yourself. If you are a little heavier, then you will want to use a greater tire pressure for sure as the tire will have more weight to bear.

Taking a test bike trip is a great method to examine the tire pressure. You may wish to notice how the tire acts, how it rides on the terrain, how it moves down the mountain, and how it hooks in the corners. If you have excessive tire pressure, then drop it in increments of 5 psi in both tires. If the bike gains grip and is more steady at this tire pressure, then you will want to keep it at this level of pressure. If not, then you will continue dropping the tire pressure in small increments and redoing the test up until your bike rides the method you desire and require it to.

If you wish to identify the lowest possible tire pressure, then gradually decrease the tire pressure until you see how it feels when you ride on practically flat tires. This will certainly help you to learn how it feels so that you can keep your tubes from getting damaged. WARNING: When trying this out do not ride over rocks, bumps or tree roots...this is simply an exercise so that you can become familiar with pressure that is too little and so that you will know what to look for...and hence avoid punctures from pinching (pinching is when your tire is too soft...then when you roll over a rock etc, the wheel rim will actually hit the edge of the rock catching the tire and tube between the two sharp edges and damage the tube).

If your mountain bike tires are tubeless, then you most likely will wish to stay with a lower tire pressure. The advised tire pressure for tubeless tires is in between 30 and 40 psi. This is because tubeless tires experience fewer pinch flats than those with tubes. Rim contact occasionally is all right with tubeless as there is no tube to get punctures. This is why you can ride on tubeless tires with a much lower tire pressure than normal. However be aware...if the tire pressure is too low, you will discover that if you are catching hard that the tire may roll under the rim. So again, it is something to put in some time on trialing to work out the best PSI for you.

Another thing that you need to watch for is rolling resistance. The softer a tire is the more increased rolling resistance there will be as there is more tire on the riding surface. This means biking may require more effort, but it will certainly provide greater steering control and better traction to allow you to climb or descend much easier.

For racers who race cross-country, most would rather opt for more cycling efficiency versus greater control, so you have to take into account what sort of biking that you will be doing.

As you get used to working with your bike tires over time, utilizing your hand to squeeze the tire will certainly assist you identify what the right tire pressure feels like so that you do not need to rely so much on the tire pressure gauge all the time. But for those who prefer to be on the safe side and like everything to be perfect...a gauge is a great idea.
