  1. First of sorry for all the topics been sick in bed all day🙁 , but
    anyways I weigh approximately 110 pounds. I mainly do trials. I, at the
    lowest recommended pressure cant compact the tire completely (mostly).

    Why do you want to compact the tire?

    As long as you're not bottoming out or folding the tire (hitting the
    rim on the ground) you're fine. Some trials riders use a "squishy
    tire" pressure, others pump it up until it's hard as a rock... it seems
    to be a personal preference.

    Unless you're trying to fine-tune your trials riding, don't worry about
    your tire pressure. Worry more about working on technique for now. By
    and far, you'll see more improvement in your trials riding if you focus
    on improving technique, than if you fret about your uni's weight or
    your tire pressure.
