    As much as the guys at Louee recommend 18psi, I have found that with UHD tubes you are ok at 12-14psi, and it makes the ride much more enjoyable. Don’t worry too much about it. :)

    If a half worn tyre is the go for Louee, I will be right my tyres are always half worn. I’d better change Kylie’s though, don’t want that IRC wrecked. It is still like new :woohoo:

    Its up to you Menace you can run whatever you like, cant remember ever going to Louee and someone didn’t get a flat. The joint is that dry, dusty and rocky the difference between pressures will be minimal, but if its wet a good tyre will be worth its wait in gold (well a quality tyre will)
    Never seen Louee wet but :laugh: dont think it rains there :P

    Picking the tyre up is not a problem Menace have to go down and pick up Moto’s damper and fit it at Louee anyway

    The owners of Louee only recommend 18psi because they change tubes for free.. It means less work for them..

    You dont think for second JRD that they want people to not get flat tyres there by enjoying there time and then wanting to come back to Louee instead of that place where you get all the flats tyres :huh:

    They also charge for there tubes, and only fit the ones you buy from them for free

    Not everybody has an angle to get us :laugh:

    No to be a cynic TB – well ok, maybe I am! But after changing fifty billion flats I am pretty sure they recommend 18psi not to ensure you have a good ride so much as to prevent them spending time changing tyres. And there is nothing wrong with that. Hell, for most of their customers I would agree 100% with their theory.

    Just take it under advisement and if you choose to run 18psi then you will be less likely to have a flat, but more likely to have less control of the bike. If you run less than 18psi, for goodness sake make sure you have a UHD tube, and try not to spear into sharp rocks. You will have more chance of getting a flat but I wouldn’t run 18psi there in a pink fit.
