As I get used to my fat bike more and more, I'm finding I'm riding with less-and-less pressure all the time.
For the pictures below, the front tire is at about 7.5 psi, and the rear at roughly 8.5 psi (as read on the gauge of a Topeak JoeBlow Dualie).
I'm curious about the contact patch, as you can see where the snow is sticking.
Would it be correct to say that the narrow patch on the front tire would suggest that I could lower the pressure in that tire?
Would it also be correct to assume that that broader, edge-to-edge contact patch of the rear tire is just about right?
