Here’s one for the enthusiast. Off to Bike Park Wales at the weekend and wondering what sort of pressures you would recommend if you have been before.
I’m used to riding more slower rooty stuff at Swinley.
Thanks in advance.

If I have stronger sidewall tyres like Super Gravity or Double Down then I leave them the same.

For normal carcasses I up the pressure by 5psi or so as it's fairly rocky and speeds are higher than my normal riding.

Tyre pressure is more to tmdo with rider weight and tyre choice than terrain if you ask me. But I would beef up on tyres. That's my advice. Dont be afraid of a heavier more aggressive tyre at BPW it's not like you will be pedalling back up. (Unless you are in that case go full on XC haha)

24 psi front, 26 rear is my go to on both dh casing and maxxis exo at BPW, for me is pritty much there for most tails and weather conditions.
Be interesting to know what you find.
