Ok, for you woods guys...I have a question. How much air do you run in your tires?? I'm running local (Indiana) hare scrambles and the two closests GNCC's. After the first one, I'm wondering if I should lower my pressures to maximize tire contact or if I'll be asking for trouble. The first lap didn't seem too bad, but at the trail became more rutted and torn up....it just seemed like an effort in futility just to stay up on the bike let alone try to race someone and pick up positions.
I'm thinking about 5-8 PSI per tire as opposed to the manuels recommended 14 PSI would be good. I'm hoping it might give me some more sidewall flexibility and tire contact patch. Does this sound ok or am I asking for trouble from every root, rock and log that I will encounter???
