thats the spirit!

i honestly think for most people in DD its a confidence thing. if someone changed all our pressures by 2 psi how many of us would come in and go: 'somethings not right with the bike, it felt really odd, couldn't get the power on, get it to hold a line etc' ?

i up my pressure 1 psi in the wet. do i notice the difference? of course not. does it make me quicker?, doubt it. but i go out there feeling the bike is set up right for the conditions so mentally it helps.

I run approx 29/29 in the dry and approx 31/31 in the wet

just ride.! as long as they are in the 30 range,>!

We have so few variables that we can "fiddle" with on the DD bikes, its great to mess with something

And as its the only regular contact point with the track, any grip that can be gained through correct tyre pressures has gotta be good.

You won't mind me setting yours to 39/39 then?
