I’ve just read this article and found it quite interesting, although i do wonder how much of this stuff will actually relate out on the trail/road. As with a lot of stuff done in labs, surely some of it has to be made up to some extent.

that is interesting. It’s often good to check accepted knowledge and see how true it is.

They’ve spelt tyre wrong.

Kev

Playing fast and loose with the word “interesting” there.

As with a lot of stuff done in labs, surely some of it has to be made up to some extent.

I work in a scientific discipline and can confirm that this is the generally taken approach. If it is taking too long to get results, or we have to be home early to watch Deal or No Deal, then we do tend to just make stuff up.

I’ve decided to wear out completely my stock of tyres before I buy any new ones.

Unfortunately this means at some point in the next couple of years I have to look foreward to some conti explorers and panaracer fire XC’s
🙁

I’m quite looking foreward to the conti race king supersonics and IRC Mythos’ in the summers though 🙂

You still won’t catch me riding a clown bike.
