I just bought an Intense new 2019 Sniper XC. I got to ride it for the first time Friday and I really like it. Super light and fast bike. I have been riding a Yeti SB150 but mostly on trail rides in San Diego.
The Sniper came with 2.2 Maxxis Rekon tires. I set the wheels up tubeless when I assembled the bike. The front tire had a leak in the sidewall that wouldn't self seal so Intense is sending a replacement. Intense only had a Race version in stock so I'll run it on the rear wheel.
My question is tire pressure with a tubeless set up. These tires have much lighter sidewalls and are of course narrower then what I normally run. I weigh in at 180 and ride the dry, hard pack and rocky terrain here in San Diego. What pressure should I run? How low can I go with it? I was thinking of 28psi to start.
What do you experts run on similar sized tires and wheels?
