  1. I have 26 x 2.1 tyres on my mountain bike for offroad use, what sort of
    PSI should I be looking at?

    The recommended range should be printed on the tires. Harder will give
    a harder ride, but less friction. Softer will give a softer ride, but
    more friction, or riding resistance.

    There are several factors required to make an accurate e-ssesment; what
    brand/model tire, where you intend on riding your bike
    (surface/conditions), how much you weigh, what bike they are on, etc.
    Your question was not complete enough for anyone to honestly answer.
    On the ride I took today, I let air out of my tires for a particular
    section of trail and then pumped some air back in for another.
