Hopping off gapping bars.

That's interesting. I run a pressure low enough to just barely avoid
bottoming out on gapping bars and it seems to give me a good boost off
them. In fact, I think the biggest gap I've done between to objects was
1.70m between two 35mm wide gapping bars. Have you tried running your
pressure a little higher so it doens't quite bottom out? 25psi seems
high to be bottoming out on them. I'm confused. Sorry.

Yea, it doesn't make much sense to me either. I just checked, and it is
for sure 25 psi. How much do you weigh? Probably can't me much more than
my 150 lbs. (or 70 kg, however you want to look at it), and what
pressure do you ride with?

Thanks, Dave

I bottom out and it doesn't stop me from going far...odd.

I guess you aren't jumping on the centre of the wheel. You lose height
if you jump off the front or back of the wheel. Some times you don't
even notice you're like that. Maybe someone can elaborate, I' pressed
for time.

Ah, now here's a thought...when I jump from something narrow like a 25mm
wide gapping bar, I have the wheel at about 30 degrees or so to it. So
more of the tyre is in contact with the take-off surface and there's a
larger area pushing back on the wheel. I usually land at about 60
degrees, more if it's a bigger gap.

I weigh about 60-65kg. I don't know what pressure I run.
