Yeah run them tubes NP,,,
Tip that helped me gain a small percentage of traction~~ Talcum powder, rub the tire insides and the whole tube with it, lightly,
This helps the tire move and flex, feels like dropping psi 10% without increased risk of a snake bite.

Was just noticeable but only when I needed traction the most, like when I was way outside my comfort zone, when things got dicey...

So you want more power,, do Intervals, do them right, make them hurt real bad, get up out of the saddle and stay off it on climbs. A real burn down this is...
I sometimes carry two five pound weights in my Camelbak when I go for the Meadows, Yeah I'm not right, In the head~

Get yourself In the hurt locker and learn to love it
