Am just starting to get my head around how low pressures I can run, 5.5 psi has been great at times, even with undersized tubes (3" downhill tubes)
cheers
Fat bikes are fun. I'm still pretty pleased with mine. In retrospect, I think I would prefer the option for narrower tires as most of my riding doesn't take full advantage of the float 4.6 offers. But... still a fun jeep jeep bike
Funny about pressures. I don't have a very specific gauge (just the one o my Park floor pump) and usually run mine quite high. I find I get enough cushion and desire the lower rolling resistance to cover longer distances.
