could try and put into words the difference in feel between a low pressure “plus” tyre and a low pressure “normal” tyre.
Low pressure on standard 29 inch tyre for me is anything around 12-17PSI.
And that is standard I was running on my 29-er HT with 2.4 and 2.3 tyres on 21mm internal width rims. 10.5 stones, not very aggressive rider, not jumpy.
On 29+ my low pressure was around 6-8PSI set up tubeless on 45mm internal width rims. Extra low, just for the sake of testing was around 4PSI to explore tubeless set up.
That one gave me feeling of run-on-flat standard tyre. Sidewalls were bending and washing out, whole experience of riding was very, very unpleasant.
With 6-8PSI in my case I had perfect balance between cushioning and support. No unwanted bending, rolling or washing-out of the tyre. And still bucketloads of comfort.
Especially visible on the cobbled or small bumps uneven surface.
Sure thing as soon as it is going choppy you can feel that there is not enough suspension to aid you but that is beauty of riding fully rigid.
You either suffer or apply you body-English and pick you lines carefully and deliberately.
Cheers!
I.
