Hitchcocks Forum

Having converted my standard Electra X into a 'Trials' bike using many of the Hitchock's parts and my own, I have fitted 2.75 x 21 Pirelli at the front and 4.00 x 18 Pirelli MT43 at the back, I am using my original tyre pressures, 24psi at front and 28ps at the rear is this correct for mainly road use? What have others used? I have a Dunlop D803FGP 80/100 x 21 I am fitting on another bike, I assume I have this at 24psi as well? Mainly road use with some dirt roads when I get to them.

Mine runs MT43's and spends most of it's time on rocky tracks or minor Lakedistrict roads.

I run 8-10 psi in the rear and 10-15 psi at the front, whilst this may not be ideal for full time road use, the low pressures don't adversely affect it's manners on the tarmac, but definitely help off road.

Hi Graham43

Can you please share the picture of bike if you would like . I am in process to collecting parts to Build trials bike.
going to use MT43 tyres as well . Thanks

I will do but I am away from home at the moment. Basically it looks the same as the Hictcock's catalogue picture.
