last time i rmb when i was still using the normal ciplak tube i pump to 30psi ended up with a pinch flat at the end fo the day...

erm... actually if u descend and if u feel ur tire is bouncing too much and no traction, u reduce the tire pressure rite?

especially on wet track...

Well, when i press my tire down, I can see the tire wrinkling. That's abit too much

On wet tracks I prefer higher pressure and thinner tires...1.9 or 2.0..

Opposites better?

man, two week id way too long to be back, i have been back a week almost and i am starting to feel bored but would have like to stay at least 2 more days after friday. but alas., i have work on saturday.

Because when it's wet, the soil tends to be soggy and softer, so I prefer a thinned and harder wheel to grip into the soil underneath. On dry weather I prefer bigger and softer tires because I'm riding a hardtail! Bumpy..

shouldn't it be the other way round?

softer tyre during wet to cover more surface area thus more grip and pump hard when dry for lower rolling resistance lol...

and btw...

any recomendatiosn on a fork rm200-250 dun bother 2nd hand or new...

just want to get a new fork after cny... -.-"

I always liked the Manitou Black... Cheap but old...

I think tire pressure depends on riders.. Well I mean thin as in 1.9 size and fat as in 2.1 size..

If tires are too hard for hartails, it'll be bouncy at the back and very hard to get traction when accelerating. And hard tires during wet so it can 'cengkam' the solid surface at the bottom. This is just my style ma..

tyre pressure depends on riders..thats so true AndyLo!

well, im using 28psi (26x2.1) on dry trail...works perfectly! Hitting the curves n bouncing are just nice for me.

any idea on the RockShox Dart 2?

on bbs some dude seling rm280...

It's the 2nd lowest of the lowest model of all of RockShox forks!

bargain formoney and looks good too. I used to have dart 3 with my kona... okay nuthin to shout about, plus got lockout...

But will it be strong enough for Night? haha...
But get a short travel one will be nicer I think since Night's during stunt riding..

80-100mm should be perfect lol...

btw the lowest end RS is the Judy rite?

Judy has been discontinued..

Ooops.... I like Marzocchis... A used one wouldn't cost much I think, but will be higher than the Dart of course...

yeah man! make mine a Bomber! my 2002 bomber mxc is still buttery smooth after so many years! if i get a new bike that fork is going on it! bombers are so sweet!
