  • I've seen this comment before, and I still don't believe it. The wobbliness makes track stands harder, not easier, because every time you make an adjustment the contact patch takes a while to settle. The extreme condition would be proper uber-stiff track bike with 200psi in the tubulars versus long travel DH bike with 3" tyres at 20psi. Which do you really think will be easier to trackstand?

    It depends on lateral stiffness of your tyres, most people don't run tubs on the road so wouldn't be running 200psi anyway. Many of the puncture resistant tyres like armadillos and so on can be run at very low psi without compromising lateral stiffness and increasing the size of your contact patch thus creating greater stability.
