Tub...Rolling resistance test like this are useless. Tubular are better, but this is due to air volume. A drum test will show good results with stiff sidewalls even, as long as the rubber is thin. Real time side loading and scrubbing will show that a stiff bumpy riding tire (any 23c clincher pumped to optimum pressure) will be lifting the rider over these bumps on a small level. Everyone agrees clinchers have a harsher ride for a given size, if not they have not ridden both veloflex tub. and a any brand 22c clincher.<br />This is a prime case of idealizing a stiuation and bending it 180 degrees from the truth. and we have not even talked of weight. Remember rims strips and tubes also.<br />while not a clincher or tubular advocate, these results mean Nothing. I believe I could go into much further detail as to why, but nothing to prove...just opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-48458291974594464722007-08-22T18:37:00.000-04:002007-08-22T18:37:00.000-04:00Sure...Sure...Ron Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394865788996482667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-37492571416927687722007-08-22T16:21:00.000-04:002007-08-22T16:21:00.000-04:00A lot of info here at you blog.
