jamis29er replied to Re: rear tire on the forums
I run 20 psi max in my tubeless 29er setup. 28 - 30 psi max if I'm running tubes. That puts as much tire on the ground as possible for traction plus it softens the ride some for my old ass. Doesn't...

I am looking to buy a new thule roof rack for my MT Bike (Trek Hardtail 29'er).

gregval reviewed Vedauwoo
Started at the West Turtle Rock TH, went clockwise around the loop. Crossed onto Valley Massif Cut-off, to get to Valley Massif trail. Went both ways on Valley Massif, but the trail petered out, and couldn't follow it. (This is a warning on the map, but both directions just vanished.)
Came back to continue clockwise on Turtle Rock Loop. Then went NE on Damn Trail, to 700DA road, to Impalement Tr. Up Devil's Slide Tr. Devils' slide is a "black", but the trail itself was pretty smooth, just some good climbs. Connected to Skeleton Tr, going NW. Finally came back SE on the easy Cow Trail, through the river meadow. Then back to Impalement/Damn. Then completed the Turtle Rock loop back to the west TH.
It's all pretty rideable, except some sections of the Turtle Rock loop.
You MUST take a map, and even then you will not be able to follow all the trails right away. Download one from Pedal House in Laramie.
I strongly suggest you call Pedal House to get trail recommendations before you ride; wish we had. But, still was a good ride.
