Cheers Chris 8) you just get that shoulder healed. Funny enough, i was thinking of you the other day when i was changing my wheel bearings, thinking, i am glad they came out easier than yours at the Tarrenig

For almost all surfaces I used 15-17 front & 14-16 rear. In the last five years I did trail riding I got one puncture - On the road after riding through a heap of pyrocather trimmings.

Since i've been using 14 psi i haven't had a puncture, and ive hit some rocks at silly speeds where it felt as thought i would have bent a rim, but not had a problem

Bearing in mind i'am only 11 1/2 stone

. And no Knackered, i'am not saying your a heavy weight, just a comparison of rider weight and tyre pressure
