Recently I posted up a how-to for adding a layer of protection to your favorite MTB tire.

I thought that perhaps I should give a bit of follow-up on performance of this abomination....

First ride, I noticed that the necessary air pressure in these "upgraded" tires was a few p.s.i. less than when run in a more conventional manner. I also felt like poo during this first ride and gave a great deal of consideration to the possibility that the additional weight in the tires REALLY effected my ability to go fast in a more negative manner than I had anticipated.
