Washington Valley Questions

1. What tire pressure should I be running on a Gary Fisher hard tail?
2. What's the best way to pick up a girl with a dog?

Thanks,
Dan

1. tubes: 40-50 depending on your weight. tubeless, less.

2. lift with the legs, not the back.

1- i run anywhere from as low as 20psi to 35psi(thats with tubes) with my rigid hardtail
2- Bring dog biscits

40-50 was my reccomendation with XC tires. anything beefier, like freeride, downhill, or even high volume(2.3+) can be run as low as he reccomends. also depends on rider weight and smoothness.

I used to run 25 there with XC tires on the old full-rigid. I really didn't go very fast back then though. Having said that I wouldn't really recommend it.

2. Fake and English acccent and pretend that you have a dog too. Or borrow mine. Have him back by 10 though...

1. I usually run 40psi, but then again I hate changing flats.
2. Just ask if you can pet the dog, and ask her a couple of questions about her dog. If her body language suggests she may be interested move on to regular small talk, otherwise keep on riding.

Thanks - I was at 50psi - I'm going to try to drop to 40 and see how that goes next time. With Scooby Snacks and an English Accent.
Cheers,
Dan
