Speculation for sure, but certainly this needs to be looked at.
to you guys with lots of experience, what do you think of the 80psi thing, could that be a factor?
As a 135lb er , I sometime run my 28s with tubes to maybe 80 rear or a bit less, and then less psi on front tire, for riding on really rough stuff, but thats about my limit--but I ride light also and am careful, and prefer a bit more pressure for hard cornering.
I may be wrong but I assume that this person is heavier than me, so would 80 be a factor in this theory, or would it necessarily need a lowering from that from a slight leak like Andrew thought?
