psi for different feeling

Post by SW884 »

If someone could add a PSI change amount would be amazing like running low psi for supercross and then higher psi for nationals and stuff would make playing different style tracks so much better pleaaaaassse add it

People would probably just use the lowest psi for maximum grip all the time. Unless some downside is built in to combat it.

Thing with a setting like this, even if a downside were there, there would just be a meta setting. Same goes for the bikes. I'm pretty sure some of the other 250fs have better handling but it don't matter cuz they're slower.

I disagree, this would allow us track creators to mess with traction settings more and different psi settings would be better for different tileinfo settings.

I always run my pressure as low as I can without risking pinch flats. Is there something I'm missing? Why would I want to run higher pressure aside from avoiding pinch flats?

Also, slip_function 2 is great and as far as I know no one uses it.

I really know nothing about setting up a bike so I was going under the presumption that certain tiles would work better with certain psi's. But I guess that would be more of a tire setup thing than an air pressure thing.

I haven't messed with tile too much but when I get some time I might try to use slip_function 2 and give it a go.
