Tire Pressure Calculator Explained
Common Questions About Tire Pressure, Performance, and the Tire Pressure Calculator. What Causes Rolling Resistance. To go faster, the first step is to identify what exactly is slowing us down. When looking at our tires, we are looking at casing los
How important can tire pressure really be?
How important can tire pressure really be?. We receive a lot of great comments and emails through the website and one of the most common questions is something on the order of 'how important can tire pressure really be?' This often comes in the form
Tire Pressure Part 1: Asymmetry
Asymmetry. Asymmetry plays a unique roll most everything from the workings of the universe codified in what's known as Thermodynamic Time Asymmetry to the way the human brain processes and makes decisions regarding risk and reward.For most of my care
Tire Pressure Part 2: Are Wider Tires Stiffer?
In Part 1, we discussed actual tire width, specifically how it was affected by the bead seat width of the rim, and also how it was generally NOT equal to the number printed on the sidewall. In part 2, we are going to look specifically at how tire wid
Tire Pressure Part 3: Comfort
'No single adjustment to a bicycle will affect comfort, handling and confidence as much as tire pressure.'. Make that 'Harsh' Aero Bike Ride like 'Plush' Comfort Bike: Change your pressure!. That's a bold statement, but one that has proven true over
Tire Pressure Part 3b: FAQ and Putting it all together
We've decided to push Part 4 back a week and do an FAQ about the first 3 segments of our series as we have had so many questions and comments regarding the series so far. For a quick recap:. Part 1: History of tires getting wider and the effect of r
Tire Pressure Part 4a: Rolling Resistance History and Previous Works
Part 4A in this Series covers the history of Bicycle Rolling resistance and the how and why Pneumatic tires are so awesome. If you just want to see the data, you can jump to Part B HERE. Back in 2007-2008, during the Paris-Roubaix wheel development,
Tire Pressure Part 4b: Rolling Resistance and Impedance
In Part 4A, we covered the history of the Bicycle Rolling Resistance study and discussed the concept of Impedance, a form of resistance caused directly by surface roughness. The concept of Impedance is a relatively new and uncharted territory for cy
Tire Size, Pressure, Aero, Comfort, and More
'23mm' Tire Measuring 24.89mm Wide at 6Bar (87psi). Part 1: How We Got to Now. No other single component affects the comfort, handling, and efficiency of a bicycle like the tires. Tires are the sole connection to the ground; they are the sole transm
