Will -- thanks for the info -- I'll do that, viz. just start high and let air out until things feel too soft, to determine the appropriate range.
Goatheads: well, that's the penalty of using good tires. As I said earlier, I'd rather patch than ride Armadillos, say -- and even Armadillos won't stop goatheads. Odd, the 60 mm Big Apple Liteskins I use on the Fargo are, of all tires I've cared to ride -- for massively heavy (the "lite" model is 800 grams) the most flat resistant -- on dirt, they shrug off 9/10, on pavement, say 1/2. Usually run at absurdly low pressures, on- and off-road. At Stevie's bike shop, a regular treatment ($20/wheel) is to install excruciatingly heavy and stiff thorn proof tubes after inserting True Goo (a Slime clone) and using the old tubes, slit, as wrappers around the new ones. Even that, says Stevie, blocks only 3/4 thorns. And often, the tires in question have protective belts. Talk about wooden. Fortunately, most goathead punctures are slow leaks and, since my rides are short distances I generally find my punctures only after I get home. Still, I am very used to fixing flats on the go.
