I should have clarified in the first place

But I've pinch flatted on the road at 25psi on 2.0 tires.
I would never think to run that low on what are essentially wider xc tired. When that narrow I pump up higher so I can go really really fast (says in a kids voice)

I have rokko240's which are around 2.5 and they are heavy and have very thick side walls. I wouldn't try with a thinner wall or narrower tire.


I was kidding about the girl scout thing by the way. lol
Hence the reason I put a smiley in my response.
