Message: Dylan my point exactly, low pressure = more tyre on the trail= more drag = more effort to get it uphill = fact !

Too hard & you'll bounce all over the place, (although if your having to run your tyres that low to ignore the bumps, I'd have a closer look at your suspension set-up mate)

It's known as a "happy medium"

fwiw, I've only ever had two pinch flats, both at last years SSMM whilst running 50 psi,hit the same root on two different laps !!
