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.

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.
