What the Deacon said. I had a low-speed crash a few years ago that was caused by an unintentional experiment in low tire pressure (a slow leak). As I was making a turn, my front wheel squirmed around so much that I lost control and went down.
I can also notice too-low pressure when I'm riding on the streets straddling painted pavement lines. Going up and down the slightly raised lines feels funny (which usually alerts me to the fact that I need to fix another leak). Excessive squirminess is the downside (for me) to running large-volume tires at low pressures. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Mar 10, 2016, at 8:08 AM, Deacon Patrick <lamontg...@mac.com> wrote: > > Squishy.
