I am only ten stone and used to compete in trials in South Wales, so I used to use 3psi in the back tyre to overcome my light weight and the obviously wet and muddy conditions. I used to see kids competing with basically flat tyres because they weren't heavy enough to deflect the tyres lol
Very nicely done. Would also like to see one on front tire pressure. Would be great if you could do a side by side comparison between Dunlop and Michelin and tire pressures
Nice it’s things like this I need ! Getting my bike from you guys soon and it will be my first bike in 14 years so this sort of thing is really helpful 👌👌
I must confess I'm a tyre squeezer,,, but having spent yesterday sliding around my local training woods I've just treated myself to a pressure gauge!! Good vids,, how about some basic training vids for us knobs?
Great informative video 👍. I think a gauge with lower increments is required if the pressures are that low, going from 4 to 5 psi is a 25% increase! Maybe a gauge with a max of 10 psi and in 0.2 increments. What does the gauge you use show? I'm used to mountain biking and Cyclocross racing where the pressures are in the 20's so adding an extra psi is only a modest increase of a maximum 5%. Do most people run tyres with inner tubes still or is a tubeless setup with sealant used on trials bikes. I'm considering giving trials a go.
@@bvm-moto Great video. I'm 6ft3 107kg and run between 4.5 for mud and 5.5psi for mist other stuff in my rear X11 and find it excellent. Due to past (wrong) advice I was running 8.5psi seven months ago before watching this video . Finding that correct pressure sweet spot has made a huge difference in grip for me. So thanks for making these vids 👍
Yes I did, when using higher pressures you lose that extra bounce that a softer tyre has. It was surprising how much of your suspension is also helped by the tyre!
Trials tyres will not change in PSI more than .05 as my son is a Michelin Technician and says no heat is generated enough in the tyre unless say a 10 mile plus road section at high speed so bad info there sorry
This is beautiful exactly what people want to know, but are scared to try in case of a blow out thanks Happy New Year BVM TEAM.🥂🍾👏👏🎯
Looking forward to a front vid as well

Just received my apico pressure gauge less than 24 hours after ordering 👍 top job

Have you not seen Craig ride?.....

I run 3 an half in back 6 front
Forgive my ignorance but do all trials tyres (tires) conform to the same sidewall construction.
I run 1.5 psi in Squamish
Nice video!
Nice, will you be doing the same with the front?
Yes I think we will
Normally one (or two) PSI higher in the front I have found...
Nice talk, but it doesn't answer my doubts, what do they use inside? Tubes?
Fronts are tubed, rear are tubeless
@@bvm-moto Can you, please, explain why and, how? I have been thinking about tubliss system
Excellent guide, with tons of information, really makes you realise how much is affected by tyre pressure.
How much do you weigh ?
Craig thinks that when this video was made he was around 105kg
@@bvm-moto I bet he's 110 after Christmas lol

How does the trs compare to the beta?
Very different bikes, both bikes are better than Craig's ability!
Did you notice any difference in how much effort it took to hop the rear end with the different pressures?
Yes I did, when using higher pressures you lose that extra bounce that a softer tyre has. It was surprising how much of your suspension is also helped by the tyre!

Ok will do a before and after photo from our next practice session for you!
