    What do you define as low pressure? I laughed pretty hard when a guy with USTs running 35 in
    them thought it was low pressure.

    12-14 psi, tubed, very rocky terrain, no pinches, no rim dings.

    Sidewalks aren't technical enough to use as a comparison, Shaunny.

    So, why did *you* bring sidewalks up then, Jock?

    Oh, and it's 'Shaunie' to you, ya gret lump of smelly curmudgeonly-ness.

    Shaun aRe - Can't resist taking the opportunity.........

    Well I'm not running your tractor tires but I run 24 front 28 rear on my
    2.1" "old tubed" tires and even that feels pretty hard sometimes. My only flat this year so far
    was from a m#$%er f$#king beer bottle on the trail.

    A big 'Boooooooo!' for "m#$%er f$#king beer bottles"!

    Cos I use one that is a designated bike path to get to work. Of course I ride a custom downhill bike
    and wear a full faced helmet while commuting to keep in the true spirit of real sidewalk riders
    everywhere.

    Lucky you - I have to use a country road that is about 80% national speed
    limit (70mph, and the drivers feel it's the law to reach the limit as quick as possible), no
    sidewalk, no shoulder, barely 2 cars wide. I have car paint all over my right hand bar
    end, r/h elbow, and r/h knee. Looks pretty, but acquiring it is a [censored].

    Ah, pedalling with your knees up around your ear holes, one hand on the bars, other hand clutching a
    Mt. Dew? Seen that - it's real old Jock, real old.........
