XC Race Tire Thread

I raced a very similar course with an Ardent Race/Aspen and now the RaRa combo. I won’t give feedback yet though. On the first race I think I was a little too weak (upper body) to perform well, and the low tire pressures I accidentally used on the Maxis helped (valve stem was clogged with sealant so I couldn’t get a decent reading). This last race I think I ran too much pressure, and it negatively impacted the handling. Next race is in two weeks. I’ll try and do some training rides and dial the pressure in better.
