This came up at the trail head a while back. I don't wheel with very many people, so I figured I'd ask here for a broader response.
1. Do you air down every time?
2. What pressure do you run on the trail, or does it vary with terrain and if so, what pressures do you run?
3. What's your street pressure?
4. What setup do you use to air down and up?
5. How long does it take you to air down and to air up?
6. What do you like the least/hate the most about the process of airing down and then back up?
For me, I air down every time, run 13 psi on the trail in all conditions and 30 on the street. I have a York and it takes about ten minutes to air up all four and something like 10- 15 minutes to air down with the Staun deflators. I don't like how the Stauns get slower as the pressure drops, and are nearly inaudible for the last three or four PSI. I'm always finishing with the tip of a key on the valve to just end the suspense. Airing up isn't bad, but I don't like how I can only do one tire at a time, and for both down and up, I don't like having to stop and check several times so as not to overshoot my target pressure.
Anyway, I'm just curious how you guys deal with this menial task we all partake in from time to time.
