- The MTB tyre pressure challenge - How low can they go? Me and Lewi Pilgrim go head to head at Twisted Oaks Bike Park to see who can get their tire to the lowest PSI before destruction on MTB trails and jumps but who will win?
Me and Lewi Pilgrim go head to head at twisted Oaks bike park on full speed MTB trails, huge gap jumps, table tops and fast berms with the goal being to find out who's tyre can get to the lowest PSI before it blows off the rim or gets a puncture. We decide to use the super fun trails of twisted oaks, one of our favourite local bike parks because of it big variety of trails, perfect sandy berms and most importantly, good vibes! We start the video off with some GoPro runs through the best lines with our tyre pressure dropping by 10 PSI each time until we get to 30 where we then go down in PSI by 5 each time until destruction. Each time we let out some pressure we ride a different trail to spice up the action. But how low do you think we can go before the end?
I hope you enjoy the video!

Sam rides every weird bike in the world declaring them to be "The Dream"
Sam rides the same tyre pressure as most people - "Ugh it's so strange!"
i wanna see you shred a lefty fork! im curious how strong they actually are. probably a silly request since they are so expensive
If He throws a fox 40 for 2 Grand on an freebike than He can afford a 1500€ lefty
Those things are so sketch looking. That said there is no better guinnea pig than Mr Pilgs.
they have been around for decades, I think they work?
Such a fun idea
This would be awesome 👌
30PSI for Sam is basically running flat tires 😂
Love how energy wise Lewi is Luigi to Sam’s Mario😂
You could say "Lewi-gi Pilgrim and Sam-ario pilgirim"
Super Pilgrim Bros.
Lewis' on-board commentary is so good I love it 😂
the jump this onto this and then this?
This is silly. Everyone knows this is silly, but I learn so much from these little experiments that Sam and Lewi do. I would never do this myself, but it's great to see two pros do it and hear their reactions. Keep up the good work, boys.
Why do blag everyone on everyone's channel wi this am giving away prizes didn't mummy give you enough attention as a child
I'm always shocked with how similar Sam and Lewi sound. Not just their voice but also their accent and melody in their sentences
Yeah, it's almost like they're brothers and grew up together 🤷🏼♂️
@@zwaistheStig I have known many brothers who grew up together, even twins, but never have I heard such identical sound. Every little nuance of their speech is almost impossible to
differentiate.
It is astonishing how close the sound. All the little accents and nuances. I have worked with sound production and recording, and I am very good at hearing slight differences in tone etc, but Lewi is almost a clone of Sam.
I have never heard family members sound so close. You can guess someone grew up in a similar area or house, but still not as near identical as these two.
Only difference is that missing front tooth😂
Just noticed also how similar they are👍
I have had that same pump for years. I *never* knew you could bleed pressure with that knob under the gauge. Thanks guys!
I don't think my track pump has the knob adjuster valve but it does make me want to check it.
...Ahh, just recalled a little spring-loaded button that does the same trick.
I know I have two flats but then also know I need to replace both tyres (and i think replace one of the badly patched tubes) before bothering to pump them back up again. I'd usually cram as much psi in until I can no longer push the pump fully down, then a quick dab on the button before releasing the pump, maybe a quick tap of the Presta valve nut too before doing it up. But I don't run high pressures for the same reason as Sam...
I just did the same, I also have the same old crusty pump and never even knew that bleeder existed till now haha.... snap
@@chickenclips just been in my garage and noticed a barrel adjuster underneath the guage on my airace infinity sport, but the button on the valve connector head does the job just fine.
Sam and Lewi Pilgrim always chasing bad ideas to bring us epic entertainment! There really is not much more you need in a day to make it feel great! Awesome cutties boys!
18/20 psi front/rear is my default for 2.4 EXO/EXO+ tires (with tubes). I'm about 80 kg with all my gear on.
nice one as always but man please make more road bike videos they are great, i have rewatched yesterday again and forgot how cool they end up to be especially trail/tech parts
in any of ways, thanks for making content so often its really funny and positive all the way ! keep up guys !
Your vids are absolutely awesome your the one that got me into mtbing 1 year ago thank you for your videos
20's the limit! You guys are so funny...
Really enjoying the great times
you guys are having
Yes, he was saying 15 was the limit, but 15 was the point at which they both failed, so 20 was the successfully ridden limit. I suppose they could revisit and pinpoint the exact psi by increments of one, but that wouldn't make much of a follow-up video.
@@ManWalksDogs aye I did think the exact same thing. All I really care about is those brothers having a wail of a time - I don't think precision mathematics are going to score many points on the fun factor!
Would be interesting to see a reverse tire pressure change, while riding on a sand beach
Pure Science, again!
Yeah man💥 Another sick video🤟 Dreams 🥳
Same thing but tubeless please pils. Really interesting to see how far things can be pushed. Also that was a really lovely bit of context as to why you opt for inner tubes. Informative and educational. Epic.
Yes, do the same tubeless. And then also run a high pressure challenge going up by 10psi until a failure! Thank you. Love the videos and good energy.
They did do that fairly recently.
I was changing a tube on my ebike when I heard a loud hiss from y'all's psi change. Lol. Scared the piss out of me. 😆
Haha!
I'd love to see this comparison with some shots from a GoPro mounted to the left chainstay so we can see the different levels of flex in the tire.
another great video from the boys
If you guys ever stop shredding, please go on tour as a comedy duo. Actually, we're gettng both worlds now, so don't ever change!
Love your videos Sammy
This is the best mountain bike channel by far, thnx for all the hard work and dedication ..
Yeah, cool usefull information. Thx for demonstration :p
tsg shirs are ace.. when you guys take over Hollywood for entertainment [Pilgrim bros] will be born 😁 locking off TH-cam mtb scene..thanks for your amazing uplifting spirits 👊🏽
Glad ya like the vids! :)
Yes for tube-less testing!
Wear earplugs though, I just blew 2 up and it's loud as a shotgun.
Nice one guys!
Tubed tires also give a bit more Bounce at low pressure for urban trial. (and hold the sidewall on less than prefect landings, as Sam mentioned at the end of video)
That roost was SICK!
Love video
Great challenge idea because riders get a look at different psi levels without having to try themselves lol would like more
Sam discovering the cutty was glorious.
I love that yellow TSG top.
Better than running them full of Monster Energy 🤣🤣 I'd be interested in seeing a tubeless version and a tubeless version with a cushcore/rimpact
Just read the title and already know it's gunna be a bangerr!!!
yoooo!!
@@SamPilgrim finished watching it. That ending tho 💀🤣
Banga as always!
hey ! I just recall, whan i was a kid we played with LE VELO KANGOUROU. this is french... and weird. The back wheel is offset, you pump to go around... The absolute dream for you :)
The cutting edge of science.
Long time fan of Sam, new to the channel…
Way back in the day while reading MBUK, I saw the Brooklyn Machineworks TMX and remember thinking “ who in the world would need a ridiculous bike like this ?”
I have found my answer
Tubeless!!! Alsos, love the Charlie brown shirt!
I run 16psi front, 18psi rear with tubes and Tannus armour inserts. The inserts give loads of support and grip. 👍🏼
8:28 roost had me laughing so hard!!!
I shred trails with round about 20psi.
Urban shredding with r.a. 39psi.
Kenda regolith pro tires =)
Another good one, Sam!!!
Btw 20psi when the trails are muddy n slippery ^^
There are no bad ideas, just a lack of will to execute them! 🤣
Legendary
Respect ✊
I watched this whole video before the notifications come through 😅😅😅
as soon as i see and hear Lewi i hit like
im glad i watched this as i have that pump but didnt know it had a bleed valve !
Thanks for explaining why you run tubeless and high pressure. Never thought of that
“What do you do for a living?” “Im in the family business, we try to lose control on bikes”
nice study 🔥
Never ran my tyres less than 45psi, no idea why people sit discussing 25 or 27 on other vids, Sam actually encouraged me to raise it to 60, sturdy tires are the best, the rough you take yourself.
3 or 4 PSI. On the fatbike in real winter (Canada) on a fresh snowfall, with loose snow. That's with 4.5" wide tires: 45NRTH studded Wrathchild tires. Those tires on 4" wide rims feel somewhat firm at 10 PSI - the tires are quite tall. It's all about traction in winter on snow and ice! We get enough snow here the rocky-rooty trails get smooth. Total winter snowfall is in the 160 - 400 cm range over 4 - 5 months, with a few bouts of freezing rain too...
I used to think you had to run 40+ PSI especially on cheap tubed tires but one day I tried 36psi and noticed I had a lot more control over sand patches. So now I run 20-28 in the front and 32-40 in the rear on cheap tubeless tires. The rear is a lot higher because I sit almost chopper style, with most of my weight over the back tire.
as i am a pretty light rider (61kg) i run a pretty low pressure of 17 to 20 psi on my tires (with Tubes)and im pretty Happy with it,the Grip i get is Huge🤘🏻
I read the title wrong. I thought it said you were going to Limbo in a banana hammock. 😂Always rad tho, homie! lol
Yeah try it tubeless with and without an insert . Science with fun 🔥
Amazing how Louis sounds exactly like you! Anyone might think your brothers😁
you are gosh damn right
Nice one! Its hard to find that balance point where the cutties are predictable but don't happen too easily and it doesn't get squirmy on the jump lips. I think it's like 34-36 psi for me in back depending on the tire casing and how worn out the tire is (have to pump them harder when they get older). Sometimes though just don't want to deal with downhill pinch flats and then it's 45+ for me on the dh bike.
I run 18 front 22 rear for slower technical single track.
22 front 25 rear for fast smooth jumps/ berms
24 front 28 rear for fast chunky downhill.
I only weigh 150lbs, and ride a 34lbs bike. It works great for me.
Should have done the same test with one bike set up tubeless. Maybe in the future.
with a Tanus tube armor in my rear tire I ride as low as 12-15 psi on DH, feels great in berms etc well worth the money
Nothing tops the amish wheels tho ☝️🤟👽🚲🎬
epic!👍👍
Lol, when I got my first mountain bike (a 2009 trail hardtail) my buddy - who was a BMXer and dirt jumper - convinced me that "rock hard," was how you needed your tires. My parents did that with their road bikes so I didn't question it. When I heard that people run 30psi my first thought was that they must get pinch flats all the time.
Now, I can tell 27psi just by feel lol
You should do top rated weird brand parts from Amazon to see how strong they are and you should test out the “higher quality” Walmart bikes. There’s a new full sus enduro looking huffy on there.
Sam we love you! Me and my daughter Bobbi watch your videos before bed every night!!
Nice, Joe blow rules!
Try it with Tubeless + foam inserts!!
Awww I thought you'll would let out air of the front tire too 🤣
Oh, I just assumed they were doing front & rear but cut the sequences for time.
Could you do a break down on all your bikes and there uses etc which you like being on more?
Try tubeless with Banger 2.0 insert by Mr Wolf. I could ride that completely flat with a bit of a wobble. Should be fun for the video!
low tire pressure not the easiest thing to land a jump with at all. Was expecting punchers, maybe a buckled wheel from a burn..
Nice vid lads 👍🍺👍
@Bigclutch_1
Stop trying to scam people it's 🤬ing distapectfull disgraceful
And dam right wrong..
Should be ashamed of your self
REPORTED.
So nice
Epic
Dude, Charlie Brown can ride a bike really well!
I have a Santa Cruz Nomad c on a tubeless mullet setup (27.5 front/ 26 back) and I normally run around 25-30 PSI. The bike is incredibly light which helps a great deal. On my Kona Hei Hei Hei XC bike I run 30-35 PSI with tubeless 29” cause it’s significantly heavier.
Wow that Cutty was amazing speaking of tyre pressure I run 75 psi on my JB wen riding Street Not fun when I got caught out in the rain it was like riding on a ice rink
Shred on a knee scooter! I spent a lot of time on one from injuries and would love to see one ready for shreddy
its like a dream
Loved it boys, well done! I enjoy you guys having fun doing stupid stuff. More please. On a side note: Sam or Lewi do you get sick of filming everything? Carrying all the equipment, setting up shots, doing all the editing, the lot! My point is that you are swimming in an ocean of influencers and it must get to be too much sometimes. It would seem like you would love gatherings where no one would be filming or get filmed and you could just get on with riding shit you like to ride, but off camera. Please tell me you guys are not filming so much that it stops being fun, because I dig watching and if it is no fun for you that will translate, don't you think? Great video, loved it as always, Cheers to a private life off camera. \m/,
You guys have the same accent, I was so confused at first, I was like that sounds like Sam, but I don’t think that’s Sam😂
got a idea... monny can in back tire for a full episode 😂
Sick
Man just wanna go for a ride with you right now
I running 28 psi on my 29er Trek with Schwalbe Hans Dampf for better grip and shock absorbing. Sam for his crazy jumps needs 60 anyway 😀
To the skyyyywabuwabuwabuuuh
I want to see the same with tubeless for sure. Lowest I run tubeless is between 21 and 23 psi. I’m about Lewi’s size.
I actually run a different pressure on the rear than on the front. Since the rear takes more weight and pressure in turns I run about 24 or 25 PSI tubeless. On the front, I will go about 21, but sometimes even lower if I want more traction. Rim width does matter. I run 2.6 tires and 35 mm internal width rims on my full suspension bike. If the rims are narrow, then the tire flexes to the side a lot easier, especially at lower pressures.
Tire volume makes a big difference also. 25 PSI on a 2.8 tire vs a 2.1 tire makes a huge difference. A 2.1 would be pretty squishy at 25 PSI as a 2.8 would be pretty firm. On my Fat Bike with 4.8 tires, 12 PSI is pretty firm and 20 is rock hard.
I weigh about 190 pounds and that also matters. Heavier riders on heavier bikes (like eBikes and DH bikes) need a little bit more pressure.
On my BMX bike and DJ bike, I run between 60 and 80 PSI with tubes for the exact reasons you stated. I would love to see the tubeless results.
I love all your videos, especially these types where you test things out. I still refuse to put a steering wheel on my mountain bike though...😂😂
You guys should have done both tires
That's some good footage of some Men being Men. This is something's a person can set as a future goal for oneself to work towards. At least the Viewing mind now has the proper images to use seeing this is more real than the rest ever seen or shown not that today's Men aren't the same as back then but Bikers are as good towards the fight as those Men putting in work up there on those bike challenges at the real bike park. Thanks Sam. Thanks Lewis. Thanks for the for the UK have a laugh everywhere. Why because they're the look, the disciplines a person can always use the good reminder. Also what may be good to watch is the riders stock how well Men carry themselves accordingly with the right words said the successful Man is alive again...right:) Thanks again. Have a great day! From Craig. Gary Brodsky, he had the goal of bringing Men back to being Men again. Not this what the small percent look down on in today's Men laughing at them. Craig the at least some modicum of Maleness better than the rest with your assisting me via your good movies. Tough guys.
It would be interesting to see the other way around - increase the pressure until a tyre blows up on the trail.
20 psi the dream 👍🏻🤣
I’m 195lbs ride 54lb ebike. 27.5 x 2.8 super trail casing 14psi front 18back. Rocky socal trails 🔥
I had mine set to about 40 at one point on tubeless on my eeeebs and was super loose downhill. Once I got it down to 20-25 was gripping like crazy. This is of course on loose dirt single track moon dust pretty much.
@Sam Pilgrim, Test Tubolight HD tire inserts...only 90 grams and presses hard against the tire sidewall. Try out a tire insert video..that would be the proper way to roll, plus get you a ton of views.
Surely the tyre pressure is dependent on the tyre you run I run a Magic Mary and found they like about 16psi as the side walls are quite stiff. But on a Maxxis Dhr or the Disector I would run at about 26psi on the same bike. I am not about the big jumps and tricks that is for hero’s like Sam not me.
Redicilous video
1 psi tubeless lesgo :D
