By stability I mean the tyre not squirming off sideways under a high-g corner because the pressure is low. Nothing to do with being in or out of the saddle (though I'm assuming you'd be out at this point!)
Agree the price of even mid range bikes is pretty insane though.
- veggieburglar 6y agoTire inserts like cushcore let you run really low pressures without worrying about squirming the bead off your tire, even on hard corners. They’re really a game changer- I still run decent PSI on the daily as I do a lot of climbing, but you can lower it down like crazy if you go to the bike park or if you’re ending a ride with all downhill. They supposedly decrease rolling resistance too; not sure about that but the increased sidewall stiffness is definitely noticeable.
