We know wider tires have a lower rolling resistance for a given pressure. We know lower tire pressures are faster on rough surfaces (anything other than super smooth surfaces). But is there a downside to running wider tires on road bikes? Si & Alex have been investigating! #GCN #cycling #cyclingtraining #cyclingfitness #howto #cyclinglife | Global Cycling Network

What is Rolling Resistance & Why Does It Matter? What is Rolling Resistance? Rolling resistance is the force that slows your tires as they roll on the road. Tires with high rolling resistance make your engine work harder, increasing fuel consumption. On the other hand, low rolling resistance tires reduce drag, helping you save on gas. Why is it Important? ✔️ Better Fuel Efficiency – Save money on gas with the right tires. ✔️ Lower Carbon Emissions – Reduce your environmental impact. ✔️ Longer Ti
