i had about 34, 37, and then 38 psi but after rolling it i had to let the air out to get it back in and didn't pump it up enough.

Wow! That's insanely high pressure! That explains y u r puncturing all the time! I run 28-32psi in my tyres but that's running tubes

yeah i have sealant in there although you can see a lot of patches were it's came out Smile i was running about 30 the other week and completely burped it whilst jumping at the FOD. I have since been high 30's and only small evidence of burping. i never have problems with the front though so obviously run lower psi.

Sounds like your rims are too narrow? I don't really know tbh, I do have the same problems in that I see loads of sealant coming out around the rim and where the sealant is coming, I lose a bit of pressure but not much. Ask the mechanics thread or something, I can't help haha

I think this video really makes sens here, as it got shot in BPW.

Sorry,bit if topic,but what. Ike would people recommend for Revolution bike park?

Definitely a downhill bike only spot. Some people do take trail bikes for the jump lines but even those have got pretty rough now.

Yeah my mate took his enduro bike as back up as the brakes were playing up on his dh bike. Managed two runs down far side before braking it and going back to the dh bike.
