This scares me a little bit. While I'm relatively new to mtb, I dabbled in competitive bmx in the late 80s and early 90s... old habits die hard, so I still am pretty rough on bikes (no formal coaching back then, so I don't do anything smooth like the kids do today). Given how expensive hoops are, I think I would sacrifice some rolling resistance so make sure my fat ass doesn't drive a rock through my hoops. 32psi on a 2.25" tire on a 24mm rim vs my 190lbs including camelbak is about as low as I'd dare to go...
