Hi All
I am about to venture on a trail where there is a lot of volcanic rock. this stuff is like broken glass coke bottles - its hard, brittle and sharp. Also a known tyre eater.
question is " tyre pressure hard or soft?"
some guys swear by the very hard pressure (3+bar) which prevents the tyre flexing and supposedly saves the sidewalls ....or...
the soft (1.5bar) theory that aligns with the soft balloon that is harder to pierce than a firmly inflated one...
obviously, time will tell - but foresight is forearmed.
