Been having a blast living car-free with my Jones SWB, embracing the low-tire-pressure lifestyle. Also, hello lemmy / fedi bikers!

    Tire is 2.8" and I’m about 65 kg, not sure how low I go on pressure since I don’t have a gauge but people routinely go below 10 psi on soft trails.

    Pinch flats can happen but it’s harder with bigger tires since there’s a longer travel distance before the pinch. And most people set up tubeless to avoid pinch flats entirely.
