I'd love to know what kind of pressure he's running with the ProCore system? Glad to know that it's working out for some of the racers using it. Something definitely went wrong on Neko's run, but I'd imagine than Fairclough was also running it seemed to work for him as well...

I can't tell you exactly what pressure Bruni runs, but I can tell you that most of the riders I spoke to about Procore mentioned that it's more about a little extra protection for the rim and a stronger tubeless seat and less about running lower pressure. At the speeds these guys go and given how hard they corner, they still feel tires getting squirmy pretty quick when dropping below their normal pressures.

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense now that I think about it. I guess that it's much more about having that extra layer of protection to help them get through a race run. Wish we knew what happened to Neko. Maybe he hit something nasty enough that it would have ended his run no matter what tire he was using, but it's pretty bad publicity to have that bright blue inner chamber flapping around less than a minute into his run
