  1. Here's one I've not seen addressed...

    Any recommendations for a beginner as far as tire pressure for street
    use?

  2. the lowest you can pull off without hitting the rim. i'm a pretty big
    guy (6'4 180 lbs) and on my 19x2.5 tire i run something like 22 psi for
    street, a little less if i'm not doing big drops. it'll vary on a ton
    of stuff, mostly your weight, so experiment and find one that works for
    you.

  5. Do you mean "street" as in "street freestyle", bouncing up on benches
    and ledges and such, or do you mean you're just a beginning unicyclist
    riding on the streets?

    The advice you've gotten so far is for the former. If you're the
    latter, I generally recommend riding with the pressure as high as the
    tire will go.

  6. I ride at 20 psi or so, and what the tire says doesn't matter.
