Just checked the pressures and front is at 15, rear at 20
at 15 and 20 psi you might pinch flat (unless you are running tubeless?) - although you might be ok if you stick to maintained dirt roads etc

but your legs might be beat and sore from the (extra) rolling resistance of running low pressure like 15 and 20 psi

would rather have a sore rear than sore legs lol

would rather have a sore rear than a flat lol
