This is doing it wrong. It may feel faster to over-inflate your tires, but it's not. Check with the SRAM or Silca tire pressure calculators to get an idea of what kind of pressure would be optimal. If you'd like to learn the "why?" behind it, take a listen to the Cycling Tips podcast on tire pressure; it's about an hour, but you'll get the gist without having to listen all of the way through - https://cyclingtips.com/2016/08/cycl...and-pressures/
Alright! I'll look into it. If there are ways to improve anything I'll take them on board.

I took on some advice to change front and back chain rings at the same time to reduce pressure, worked well going one way, popped my chain off the ring going the other way lol #learning
