Hi,

I had a rather spectacular failure on my front tyre on Sunday. Just riding the side walk in my street at about 5kmh, sort of tried to ride off the edge of the kerb. To then wake up on the floor with a cracked helmet, few cuts and a bruised hip.

Should I clean old latex out of tyres

i have a continental non-UST tyre go mavic xm819 rims that refuses to hold air for more than a day.
The tyre has been on there a long time.

Should I remove some of the old sealant out of the tyre and replace it with fresh sealant or just keep topping it up?

Tubeless tyre pressures - what do you ride?

Hi All,

I was after a bit of help and advice on tubeless tyre pressure.

I run a 26" dual suspension (5") bike with XT wheels and Nobby Nic's (F&R), I weigh 85-90kgs with gear.

I would say I'm an average rider who rides all of the popular trails on the Northern Beaches, I can do all of the obstacles on the dam and usually ride a sub 40min lap.

I have been experimenting with the pressures but I think I have them too high, something highlighted today by the fact I rode Duck hole, Waratah and Centre Track with my rear tyre pressure at 20Psi!!
