What front/rear tire pressures do you recommend for wheelies and stoppies?

they only have 15-18 psi to begin with and that's for a 88 lb. rider :toothless

try progressive brake pull (instead of grabbing a fistful) and transfering more weight forward for your stoppies. pop goes the weasel :p oh yeah, and adjust the brake tighter. just turn the bolt at the wheel hub, no tools needed.

I would think more pressure would be better than lower pressure for stunting the 50s on the street. You will loose feedback with tires that are moving around due to low pressure??

:confused overinflation = smaller contact patch / less nubbies = more chance to slide out? :confused

stiffer springs better to help weight transfer but not wasted in suspension movement itself? :confused

Rear wheel =low. Easier to balance.

Front wheel. ?? Low also? Same reason.

exactly, more pressure = more twitch
