which way to mount my tires...help!KamikazeRider

I just bought some Intense CC...2.25



On the tires its tell which way for the rotation but Im not sure about the rear.



Should I reverse it or copy the front.



Also my tubes say 1.5 - 2.2 and my tires are 2.25 should I be ok?
No worriesmcgrupp

You can mount the rear in reverse but I would suggest the same direction for both. It will creat a more consistant ride for rolling traction. I ride those tires on my bike. Though you do have me thinking now....... Shall we experiment? As for your tubes don't worry, just think of the weight savings. Yea right.

Allright thanks...Ill try the same direction but maybe later I flip the rear around for the hell of it!



Im comming off of 2.1 XC Pros...and I have no idea what pressure to run in my CC's. What is the pressure range? What do you recommend?



Thanks

Hey that will help. For some reason every time I change my tires they end up going the wrong way.

I'll look at the bike and the tires before changing them then somewhere or sometime when I flip the bike over things get mixed up and confused.

So, I end up doing it twice.
