    Here is a pic of me at the bottom of Paddock Hill at Brands Hatch. Love this pic from Jack Barnes, check out the tyre deflection....

    I tried 28 psi in the rear in this pic
    I normally run 24 psi

    if you had been running 24 psi it would have looked like you was running on the rim :D

    You been down paddock mate? Although the tyre deflection is quite something on that shot, bottoming out isn't uncommon..... Seen sooooo many high side getting on power early and their rear suspension getting out of shape!

    Oh and cool photo mate

    The pitfalls with the compression at the bottom of Paddock Hill. Not sure I would use as low as 24 or 28 psi or as high as 40 psi either though.

    Think the 40 was a bit of a joke mate ;)

    As for the lower range - obviously depends cold or hot but I have mine at 29 hot - just in.
