Hi
What is a good tyre pressure to run?
Also a good starting point for suspension set up?
Many thanks

Re: Tyre pressures/suspension
Sidecar tyre hard. Front tyre 20 - 22 psi; Rear tyre 18 - 20 psi; adjust to suit track and you.
Suspension: Sidecar shock, no sag. Rear shock, 0.5 - 1.0 cm sag; front shocks 2 cm sag if track hard, less if soft, down to about 0.5cm in sand. Adjust this on the spring. Damping adjustment depends on what sort of shocks/adjustments you have. Soft is best, shocks need to move. Ideally they will bottom out, just, on the biggest jump/bump on a course.
That should do for starters - expect lots of people to now tell me that's all wrong

I was wrong all last season, and, according to my e'mails I'm wrong this season. Still, while it is my fault no one else is getting the blame.

We gave it ago and it seems to be quite good at the moment!
