    ride where you dont bottom out on drops. I have mine at somewhere mid
    high 20s. But im a small guy and i dont do big drops. So just
    experiment. You will know when you get it right

    I like to run my KH24 at around 20 psi for general trail riding. I
    reduce this to 15 psi if the terrain is rough, since it smooths out the
    bumps. I weigh around 160lbs., so adjust up or down accordingly.

    I recommend trying out a few pressure settings and stick with what
    feels right.
