<p>You should be but try it out on your pre-ride/warm-up lap. Bounce up and down a little and see if you bottom out. If you do, add a couple pounds. If not, take a little out and give it a go again. No way to find out what works until you try it.</p>
<p>Also, get a reliable gauge that is yours. The pump gauges are crap.</p>

sweet. just to make sure, you said you're running the clement pdx's too? do you think at 195-200 i could get away with lower that 40# on the rear?

Yeah, my bad. I generally run front about 2# lower. So this past weekend, I think I put in 36 in the rear and 34 in the front. You should be fine at 40#.

Thanks for the reply Mike. Is that 35-37 for both or 37 rear 35 front? So you're saying at 197 (as of yesterday) I should prolly be good to safely start em tubed up at 40psi?

I'm at 205-210, depending on recent beer consumption. Depending on how hard and bumpy the course is I generally run tubeless at around 35-37#, tubes +2-4 psi. Little finnicky to get sealed up but otherwise a great tire.

<p>Sweet. thanks guys. I'd still like to see some more replies to this post though...out of curiosity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Brian, I've heard lots of folks say that. They seem to rapidly usurping the mud 2's as the best all-around tire out there (and one of THE best in slop).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hellbelly, how does the back tire at 51 feel? seems like that may get a little stiff on ya in off camber or fast corners.</p>

<strong>I am 195 lbs and run mine at 41-45 PSI on the front and about 51+/- on the rear with standard tubes. No flats, no problem and plenty o' grip. Some like to run latex tubes for a better feel, but I have not been all that impressed with 'em. I may go with tubulars one day when I grow up, but for now the PDX's are more than functional for my CX shenanigans.</strong>

<p>I'm about 188. I'm running the PDXs for the first time this year, so I only have 2 races on them so far. Last race I went at 32/36 on a hard dirt course with very few rocks. If racing the same course again, would go just a little lower (they were bouncing loose just a bit on the fast downhill corners, and never seemed close to bottoming out). There's probably not a course out there I'd run them higher than 35/38.</p>
