Tom, I agree with Patrick. I ride Barlow ELs at about 40# which is close to what he’s suggesting Keven Moran, when he was at Riv, suggested I lower the pressure and showed me his bike to prove he ran them low. I tried it on an old mountain bike that had too narrow rims for the tires and it was scary. Felt like my tires were about to roll off the rims. With the BPs on Synergy rims I have worked back down to a lower pressure despite my fears. Of course it took a while to get there and I came to it accidentally out of laziness more than anything else. I hadn’t ridden for several weeks and didn’t bother to do a quick once over before heading out. I freaked out a bit when I saw that my tires were expanding out at the bottoms. But, again being lazy, I ignored it and continued my ride. Shortly after I was just enjoying the ride and forgot about it. The ride was the smoothest I’d experienced. I checked the tires when I got home and they were at 40 in the front and 35 in the rear. Been hovering around 40 ever since and have become much more confident on gravel. No flats, pinch or otherwise, in a year and a half.
