Haha, I was going to write you that you made a mistake by thinking that it's possible to commit the too high and too low tyre pressure mistake at the same time, but at the very end of the video you noted it that it's either one or the other. :D

My feeling told my that Conti 4000 S2 is great tire. Best I ever have. And it is not just rolling resistance. It is about comfort and cornering. Maybe there are better tire for me, but I didn't found them. And Conti lie about width. My 23 are actually 25mm, and 25 are 27mm. So there are not perfectly fit on my narrow rims. But my rims are old and heavy just like me. No tire can fix all that problems.

although unlikely, you could have different pressures at front and back, in which case you average the savings. Plus, if the weight is not evenly distributed, inflating the front less should be the case. What was not mentioned was the turbulence caused by the thread of the tire. Also, the droplet shape works when the front of the tire meets the air. It does not work when the rear of the tire meets the air. Another thing not mentioned is the turbulence of the spokes as the rotate, which like the thread work against you. Finally, do not forget the mudguards. The turbulent airflow is compressed between the tire and the mudguard, causing further resistance.

Rixter i believe this whole wider rim thing is more about changing the shape from a teardrop to a more round shape to copy a tubular profile. To me Tubulars are still the gold standard, ride them they are lovely. changing the shape of the tyre will make it proform different. Remember that with clinchers you can't just put wider tyres on a smaller rim as the tyre shape changes, why the wider rims for wider tyres. With tubulars it doesn't make any difference as the tyre will always be round.

Great video, bookmarked! I do have a problem with the prevailing idea that wheel weight doesn't matter though (the maths and the explanations don't make intuitive sense to me at least!). 1. driving a car in town you get hideous mileage, I get maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of what i get bombing along UK A-roads. If you watch your litre/100km dial you see the massive amount more energy required to pull away. Remeber this is in town never going more than 30mph (kinda!), even when you have to brake down to 20 then gently raise back to cruising speed it drinks a lot of fuel. Bike speeds and accelerations are really not that different in town, in fact, bicycles usually pull away for the first 10 to 20 yards. When you compare the power to weight ratio of my car for example; 151kW/1650kg compared to me on my bike @ 300W/85kg, makes me wonder how energy sapping those fractions of a second (don't believe that) are and how they affect the overall ride time. 2. The explanation of the racer who used the heavy rims (a) he's racing not riding around town stopping and starting and (b) if your wheel contains enough energy from the weight of it's rotational force to roll you up a hill, then that has to be quite a lot of energy in that wheel there!? The argument that once the wheel is going then that energy is always returned is bunkum, it disappears as heat in your brakes every time you hit a junction or set of lights, and it's fighting gravity every second you have that energy built up in your wheel. 3. I don't have much faith in that Alex Simmons comparison with the different weighted rims either, (a) the heavier wheel was more aero than the lighter wheel so you have two variables there (b) the test is short doesn't expose how much of a difference these increased efforts to overcome inertia may have on an overall ride (c) the difference of 250g is quite negligable where it is easy for some people to save 1000g by upgrading wheelsets if they're currently on beasts like mine (d) the numbers were generated by a theoretical formula, I have just been reading a piece about a solar-powered water-purifying device which (bear with me) the efficiency exceeded the theoretical yield, it's a rare thing but there are plenty of unrefined formulas out there. If this is all confused bs could somebody pls put me straight, before I go and spend dollar on some lightweight wheels!

A good explanation from another cycling scientist (kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoV40LekhcS3ls4.html). But you are right. The moment you break you loose the flywheel effect accumulated on the wheels.

Ceramic and hybrid ceramic bearings definitely save a considerable amount of energy, but how much depends on the OEM bearing seal type, ball grade, ABEC precision level, ceramic ball type, race material, and type of lubricant. I even have data that shows a tungsten disulfide coating applied to bearing races will save up to 5w. I sell hybrid ceramic bearings for ebikes that improve the range up to 20-25% with the full kit and a *lot* of data to back it up 🙂

Regarding tire compounds to wattage on a TT course. It's not the time on the course that gives a better result for a lower power rider, it's that the saving in watts is higher as a percentage of the riders wattage output.

Excellent video, thanks!

so much time, so little riding ? Thanx for all the info and data !

Seems like mavic know a thing or two when they desiged their cosmic pro wheel/tire combo.

thanks

i ride lower PSI with larger tires which absrbs vibration which was shown to speed you up a lot. Its not about watt savings its about vibration dampening.

I only have 74 watts.

Optimal tyre pressure is calculated for a given rider + bicycle weight and It depends on the air volume (i.e. tyre width). Optima pressure for 23 mm wide tyre isn't the same as optimal pressure for a 25, or 28 mm wide tyre. So a 100 kg rider with 23 mm wide tyre will have a different optimal pressure than a 60 kg rider with 23 mm wide tyre, or a 100 kg rider with 25 mm wide tyre. How to calculate optimal pressure: www.bike.bikegremlin.com/2015/12/23/pressure-i-inflate-bicycle-tyres/

I like it, thx

Thanks for the video, great summary. Any idea how significant the interaction of the wheel with the front fork Is? Ie. Cervelo states the P2 was optimized around 23mm tyres, so could an 808NSW mated with 23mm tyres be faster to an enve 7.8 with 25mm?

I wonder if I were to use "baby powder" between the tire and butyl tube to reduce the friction?

Maybe one day you could cover tire width relative to wheel depth in terms of "power savings" assuming the tire width and rim width are equal.

The best explanation that I have ever seen. A little fast maybe but puts together all I have read and experienced. Take a bow

Great video as always. I agree with the summary on clincher vs tubular, I run both and find little difference on road between say corsa evo open vs tubular, they are effectively the same, especially if you use a latex tube in the clincher. However, tubular does help with one of the other goals /savings, that is low pressure - I find it easier to run low pressure on tubulars as you do not get pinch flats, which for me is most of my flats. And if you are racing cyclocross, tubulars are even more important with very low pressures One of your links says there is no disadvantage to tyres as big as 32 - So i will find out soon when my 32 gatorskins arrive!

Did some work on trying to create a tyre pressure spreadsheet myself a few years ago. Using bike weight + rider weight + weight distribution. Wanted to use tyre volume rather than width though to get it to work across road and mtb. At that point my rusty physics and maths started letting me down. Would be interested in your view to this approach.

Have a look at both XLS spreadsheets for tyre pressure. The volume one is a bit complicated. Do you think it is useful to have the exact tyre volume?

For U17's in my neck of the woods, alloy rims can only be used for racing. With this in mind, should my U17 son be using sprint rims and tubulars on the track, or say Conti Supersonics with latex tubes, for best performance?

Very interesting I'm on 27m wide rims, with 25m tyres, if I switch to 28m I'll loose 2.5 watts as the tyre will be wider than the rim and potentially another couple in tyre aerodynamics. However won't I gain in that I can run the tyre at a lower PSI for the same rolling resistance, enabling less vibrations as I go over rougher surfaces? Essentially ruling out the 4 or so watts loss?

massive case of theory not adding up in reality. You cannot make a 74 watt saving just with subtle changes to road wheels. If you add up all the potential gains from a skin suit, aero helmet, shoe covers, optimal body position and aero frame, I would save 150w. That means I can go from being a hobby rider to dropping chris froome. Not happening. This just doesn't add up like that in the real world, maybe I can save 15w at 40kmh.

I weight around 48kg, I usually go for 60-80psi, the group i'm with used around 130psi! But yeah, still got to drop them lol

Is that 13 watts savings per tire for too high pressure or for the two tires all together.

Subscribed

I like the data collections but the rational could be tweeked much more. 1) you can’t have too high and too low tyre pressure. It’s either one. So add just one. 2) Tyre weight differences is truly insignificant but if tyres were significantly heavier, the effects would speak in long steep climbs. I would still give a thumbs up.

Difference in tire width on energy loss to smoothing your ride on rough terrain? I suppose muddy would be best to ask off road riders though. Wider resists better sinking into and being grabbed by loose or somewhat fluid materials. Narrower is probably better for handling on pavement.

Awesome Information, I pumped my tyres before today's ride since I leave them super low all the time haha. However, 100-110 psi sounds a bit high for the recommendations that I have received before. Is this for a 23c clincher tyre? I would assume that a 25c or 28c would allow much lower pressures. I run 25c at 75 psi at 64 kg at the moment

@Fastfitnesstips

7 жыл бұрын

It depends on road surface so tricky to be too prescriptive for you, but if its regular tarmac road I'd give 85psi a go and see what you find!

Are these all recent developments in engineering? And would this information be published or kept a secret for professional teams?

What happens with efficiency if you put oil between tyre and tube. Not much only so that they don't contact each other directly? In theory frictional losses disappear and there are only fluid losses.

After more than fifty years of riding bikes, I had worked out that the lowest rolling resistance for a 63 kg person on 700c by 25 tyres is to be found between 90 and 95 psi. I never believed the highest tyre pressures helped beyond 100psi. Not much science involved, but simply years of trial and error. Currently using Michelin Power Competition tyres on a 35 year old Carlton on modern Ambrosio [ally] rims on Super Record hubs from the 1980s. A very free-rolling combination ... Tyres inflated once a week to 95 psi.

@timeslowingdown

5 жыл бұрын

I don't have any science or math to back it up it also seems like running slightly higher pressure on the rear wheel is also optimal, e.g. 90 PSI front 100 rear, because there is typically more weight and force exerted on the rear tire, so the front will lose energy "bouncing" slightly more at the same psi... in my experience, on 700x25c and smooth roads, the ideal seems to be 90 front / 100 rear.

I do not commute with my bike but understand why people run Gatorskins for their puncture resistant qualities.

Fast Fitness. What about tire weight in terms rotational mass? I mean, if it's heavier, then rotationally, it will require even more power to spin, no?

Hi, i've looked your videos and i'd like to do my compliments to you because the argoments are very interesting and well described. I was cycling road bikes for several years and i agree with you about pressure tire( too many people run to high ant others too low) . After injury i switch to e-bike and after 1 year i'm still struggling choosing which could be the best tire and pressure for a rider about 70 Kg. Actually i run 29x2,60 Schwalbe knobby nic which is a good compromise in rolling resistance considering i'm able to go low when i'm on dirt track and go up when i'm commuting to work. I would know which could be the ideal pressure for tarmac, on the side of the tires tell me i can go from 1,5 bar to 3 bar. In your opinion could be ok run 2.6 post and 2.4 ant? In the next season i'd like also to switch to new Wicked Will tires because the pattern seems to me more compact and could give me more advantage, they produce this tires also in 29x2,40 sizes but from what i understood from your video i'll stick with 2.60 so i could keep assorbion effect from big volume tire. What do you think? Sorry for long message and best regards!

Great video, incredible math show that some things like tyre weight has minimal effect in performance. I'd like to ask you for the power difference between a road bike (700x25 tyres for example) and mountain bike (hardtail 29x2.1)... How much could the speed difference at a given power on a paved road? Anyone has any idea about it? Thanks for your thoughts

Not accurate #6 Tyre Weight 00 watts - Heavier tyre makes you pedal harder than lighter tyre. It is the same scientific fact about heavier rim needs more energy to rotate it every time.

Hey guys, in the spreadsheet, rider weight is naked weight or full equipped rider (helment, clothing, shoes, etc)? Also, bike weight is with or without bottles, gps computer, saddle bag?... Thanks in advance
