Whats everybody runnin for tire pressure? I have 10" rear wheel. Massive problem with gettin flats all the time. Landing off jumps and coming out of corners. I got another one today at Grinding Stone. Only got to ride for like 10 minutes. It got to the point that for awhile I was just running it with an insane amount of pressure so it wouldnt pop but then I was gettin no traction with it.

You need a rim lock and around 15psi

I didnt think it was possible to put a rim lock on a 10" wheel

I don't have a rimlock on the 12 inch wheel on my Pitster so I run 30psi to prevent getting flats.

It is possible to put a rim lock on a 10" wheel, forget what width you need though. If I remember right, Motion Pro makes a narrow model. Makes changing tires on a 10" rim that much more fun though.

20psi no rim locks

30psi front and rear on my ttr and klx 110's , seemed to solve the flats

How are you guys running your valve stem? I run mine with the nut lose but about half way down the stem just in case it does slip a little.

25 Psi
No Rim Lock

BIZBKAK248 · 03-30-2009, 04:07 PM

14" around 15 ish psi front no rim lock
12" 18-22 ish psi with rim lock,
10" atleast 20psi and rim lock,
valve stem nut loose so if it does shift alittle it wont tear the tube..

After getting flats, I started going over 30psi. No flats since. It seems high, but I heard you want to go with more pressure than you think.

This is the same that I run. Valve stem nut I tighten to my cap. I was getting a lot of flats to and found out that is was my tire. I ran a new tire flat for my last 2 lap and the tire looks good on the outside but the inside was rubbing a hole in my tube. Just keep it in mind if u run on a flat

I'd get a rimlock, I ripped my valve stem a couple times before I had enough. It's easy to do and well worth it. 1.60" is the size you need for a 10" rim.
