Thanks Kerry. I may not have been clear about it but that's the main reason for my hand-wringing over tire choice. Gonna run a few psi more than I use at home no matter what tires I run.
Edit: I pre-rode stage one in the Blind Mice zone yesterday and oh man, for climbing I'd love the Aspen but on the way down there are so many places to not only flat but totally mangle a XC wheelset. Maybe later in the week if I'm feeling good but otherwise the slightly more robust rubber stays on the rear.
