IF LOWERING THE PRESSURE IS FASTER, THEN...
NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF TERRAIN we're riding on, the current thinking and trend is that wider is faster. I fought that for a long time. Then, they added...
... lower pressure is even faster.
Oh, jeeeeezzzzz!
It's just so dang hard to go with the counterintuitive...
- Skinny seems more aero and is lighter, therefore, faster.
- Low pressure seems like its going to have the same effect as velcro, therefore, slower.
... which is why it is so easy to resist the counterintuitive.
But, truth is truth...
... and wider, with low pressure is definitely quicker.
The more challenging the terrain,
the bigger the gains in speed and comfort with lower pressure.
Which come to think of it,
isn't really all that counterintuitive.
We experience this all the time.
The rougher life gets,
the more it wants to get us off track...
... the more we need to lower the pressue.
Keep our cool,
swiftly get back on track.
Just like the darn tires are doin'.
