Whilst pumping my TT bike up to 110/120psi, decided to do the MTB.

So, peeps, how much? I'll be using it on the road for the next couple of weeks...60psi?

Thoughts people, thoughts...

    Yep - 60psi for MTB on the road works for me.
    Road tyres on a MTB work even better :smile:

    Yikes! 60psi seems massive to me! But I don't really ride my MTB on the road.
    Depends if 26 or 29 also.

    ^I agree 60 seems way high. I'm usually around 30-35psi but then again I ride in a lot of sand.

    Edit- using a MTB on the road 60 may be the way to go I missed that part

    Hi I run around 60-70 psi on my mtb if taking it on the road for an extended time which allows me to almost keep up with my road buddies. In the forest on the single track around 27-30psi.
