tyre pressures, tubeless rims

[tonydevon]

I know this might seem a bit basic to all of you and I thought I knew the answer until I was told otherwise last night LOL

mates have left today for rally and I was helping one out last night, go over his scooter check all the obvious things, spotted on the wednesday night pub ride that his rear tyre was looking low

I asked around and was told about 16psi front and 28psi rear for 1 up riding, this is with tubes and michelin S1 tyres on his lambretta, this pressure duely applied and hes happy.

so I started to check mine, now I have tubeless rims, conti twist race tyres, I run 32 rear 28 front

very happy with how it rides, tyres grip and work a treat and didnt have a problem till a number of people made that sucking through the teeth noise and said front should be lot lower??

but I assumed being tubeless that I would just go with the sort of pressures I normally used to with bikes etc

sooooo what pressures should I be using???

Everyone has there own opinion on this, but I've always run 28 on the rear and about 20 on the front.

On split rims it 18 front and 28 rear for me

Tubeless rims, I run at 20 front & 30 rear solo. Your front tyre pressure is high.

ok thanks guys, will lower the front and see what it feels like on the run down to Newquay in the morning

guess Im too used to bikes, wouldnt ever dream of running 20psi, unless its a hardtail and then I might at the rear to give a bit of bounce LOL
