Interesting article on tire pressure
#2
That is interesting. So, the way I read this, you'll end up needing to lower your tire pressure if you aren't an aggressive rider in order to hit the 10%/20% pressure increase goal... - less aggressive riding results in less ride-induced heating, which results in less heat induced pressure increase.... and according to the article, lower inflation pressures causes more heat induced build-up on a percentage basis. That seems counterintuitive. I'd have thought that more aggressive riders would want a higher tire pressure.

It'd have been nice if the article explained the rationale. I'm sure it makes sense though.
