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.com
