Virgin Ghetto Quickie To Bliss


0810110732a


Rolled at 6:35 on the new ghetto tubeless front/rear and new 650b
Pacenti NeoMoto tire in the rear. Quick hour loop...Belmont>RBB ^v^
>Ridge>Connector>Old Track>MC>Log>Renacho.

Ran 30psi up front and 35psi in the rear. Initially it felt like I
could go with lower pressure front and rear. But I did end up
bottoming out the front rim once on Old Track/MC in the rocky chicane
and once on Log. Almost bottomed out the rear once on Nacho. No
flats or burps!

I enjoyed the way the rear tire hooked up....I always liked Panaracer
tires and understand that they make the Pacentis. I ran the tire in
the recommended direction, even though it looked to me like I wanted
to roll her backward for better climbing traction.

Next ride I think I'll go 32psi up front and keep the rear about where it is.

Trails were dialed in...super conditions out there. Didn't see a soul


except for birds, squirrels, and a few deer.
