Just lowered my pressure from 95-75 on 28s and the first ride was money, however it was a short one. Second ride and 2 miles out I get a flat. I think that surely it’s a pinch flat for being a fool and enjoying my tires at 75 psi. Pop the tires out, scoop, and there is was, a small piece of an industrial staple in the wheel.

Was this just a coincidence, or does a lower PSI make ur tire “softer” and more susceptible to debris puncturing through? Went 4,000 miles this year on 95 psi and not a single flat. 30 miles into 75 and here we go…
