I use my PsychloX as a commuter and for trails. I pump about 75 psi into the tires for the commute for speed. On trails, I use about 50 psi but my back wheel tends to lose traction in loose rock/soil. I only weigh 120 lbs so I try to keep my weight back going uphill, and I rarely stand on inclines but still having traction issues. Too light, tire pressure off, or has my road background screwed me? Thx

bulldog,
Don't be afraid to drop that pressure to 35 psi. At your weight you should be fine...a little finesse in the saddle and you will find the lower pressure on trail/gravel will allow you to maintain traction and give your rig some bump compliance.Go lower, go faster.
Thanks,
