Some rain was forecast in the late AM so I rode out early on the Litespeed Obed. It had rained ever so slightly during the night and early morning so there was no more dust on the trails. But no mud either, far from it. I put 4 bars in my tyres so I was set for a fast ride. The reason for the 4 bars being that my rear inner tyre is a Stan Noflat and that inflates very badly due to the product that is inside the tyre which seems to block the air passage through the valve. Hard to get air in, but even harder to get air out. I needed to inflate the tyre to 4 bars in order for it to pop on the rim, but now I can't seem to get any air out. So I pumped my front tyre to a matching pressure and rode out. Needless to say, the ride was a fast one but the tyre is hell over heavy gravel . Was fine on most of the tracks though and I completed my ride with a good feeling in my legs.
