  1. I got my uni a few weeks back and thought it was all good to go until I
    checked the air pressure today and it was only around 35-38. After I
    pumped it up to 65 I could turn super easy and have made large
    improvement😄

    if your a freestyler.
    if you are doing jumps up or down you want to have the pressure around
    20-30psi but it has been a long time since I rode an lx.

    things and ones who can't. guess which ones become good?

  8. it on a 2.5" wide tire on a 19" rim though. also, I weigh 80 pounds
    fully clothed with helmet and shinguards on. if I go any lower than 6
    psi it gets really weird turning, because their is soo much friction.

  9. I too have a CC tire on a Alex trials rim, and I run it at 30psi, but
    lowered it at 20psi cause I was bored. I like it at 30 better.

    When your jumping and doing trials, you want the tire to be a springy
    as possible to get the max height in your jumps. Different weights will
    have different psi, and everyone has their own sweetspot.

    For freestyle, you will want a higher PSI cause you have better control
    and will be smoother.

    Dang, that's really low. The 19" rim doesn't make any difference, you
    need to have it so it doesn't bottom out. You could damage your rim.

    I always have problems with my CC slopping off the rim, under 26 or
    something psi.

  11. what rim? I have "no duh" the KH rim. I've never had any problems with
    it coming off. I bottom out every once in a while, but I like it
    because I can hop higher. Bryan runs his tire at like 4 psi though!!!!
    it's low compared to mine:eek:

    I think you have a messed up tire gauge or something. That is way low.
    Did Bryan say his was 4 psi or are you saying that because it looks
    lower than yours? I don't get how you could ride like that without
    constantly being on the rim.
    😕

  13. Theres no way you could run a tire at 4 psi and not bottom out, even
    just riding in a straight line! In fact im pretty sure at 4 psi that
    even with no weight on the uni, the rim would be touching the floor, it
    would be just like having a flat tire!

    Rock on!
