Conditions such as loose round gravel may offer much poorer traction on a fat bike with too much air in the tires. Like being on marbles where a skinny tire will not have this problem. Running too much air in fat tires gives fat bikes a bad rap. Most fat bike riders have too much air in their tires. With 4.5" tires I might run as high as 16-18 psi air pressure in the rear tire on pavement and as little as 3-4 psi on snow Hard pack with roots I would be running about 8-11 PSI Remember, perception is reality. Whatever bike feels better is the better bike even if the numbers don't say so. |
