Will be using my SS with Geax barro mud 1.7, so what pressure would you recommend?

Bring a pump.

Ride round for a bit.

Assess.

Adjust.

*wonders if this is an actual real-life question or an uber-troll?*

What toothpaste for Wednesday?

Just get out and ride the bloody thing.

Ideally you want something with variable tire pressure. Low for the mud and high for the hard pack. Use helium for the carry sections.

Sensodine. Paste, not gel. No stripes in it.

Exactly 36.75 psi measured at 293.15 Kelvin

Anything more and it'll be death on a stick.
Anything less and it'll be death on a stick.

You have been warned. ๐Ÿ™„

Actually it doesn't matter. The winner will be on a CX and was probably one of those riding the course last weekend to get his strategy right.

The rest of you are cannon fodder.

Your tyre pressure must be constant for all conditions and courses, but you should alter your body weight between 8 and 16 stone to suit.
And colgate +1

I don't race in the snow

don't forget the freezing temps will alter your pressure.
