What tire pressure are yall running for tubeless wheels?
I’m at 20 lbs. front - 29x2.5 MAXXIS Exo +
22 lbs. rear - 29x2.4 MAXXIS Exo +
22 and 20 seems to work great, but I run lower in my lightweight CC bike.
On my 25 lb. 120mm cross country bike I run 15 PSI in the front and 18 in the rear, same tire sizes, less beefy casing.
What do you people like?
I usually mountain bike in Auburn, but I’m looking for alternatives, so today I tried some trails around Folsom lake in Granite Bay. I looked mainly on Trail Forks to see what was available. I parked near the marina and rode Browns Ravine trail. I rode about 11 miles out and got to a parking lot where I rested for a few minutes then turned around and started the retrace my route back to where I parked.
Within 1/8 of the parking lot a private residence abutted the trail, a fence separated the yard from public land. A dog came running towards me in the yard, then a man yelling. At first I thought he was yelling at the dog. I heard him yell, “YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO THERE!!!” I rode on a little bit, then for some reason it became clear he was yelling at me. I stopped because I couldn’t figure out what was going on, or what he thought the problem was. But he yelled at me with spittle coming out of his mouth, and with a rage that might be appropriate if I had killed one of his children. He screamed “YOU’RE A PSYCHOPATH WITH NO REGARD FOR OTHER PEOPLE!” He was screaming a lot of other things. Can’t remember them all, but I mean, really losing his shit. Really unhinged. If he was closer I would have considered him a serious threat. He was out of his mind with anger.
Just as I had stopped, and he was calling me a psychopath, I was amidst 4 hikers. They had no problem with me being on the trail, and probably wondered why I stopped to let a guy berate me. One of them said to me, “just ignore him.”
But my question is: is the trail open to bikes or not? The guy screaming yelled that I had passed several “no bikes” signs from the parking lot I turned around in. But still, I had ridden 11 miles to get here, and passed a lot of bikes along the way.
Guy didn’t ruin my day, but anyone else run into this psychopath? And WTF, trail is listed as MTB on trail forks.
I’m not sure why happened, but all of the sudden it was clear the moderators were taking a heavy hand to this sub. It made it bland. And the traffic has gone way down.
