1. What does the higher mass do in regards to climbing? Help or hinder? I wonder at what point the mass is nullified by hysteresis, s-losses, and planing, supple tires, etc.? One could do alot of mixed variables tests to see how it all shakes out.
2. Also, what about tire sidewall deformation under the force of the rim turning? Wouldn't a supple tire's sidewalls deform more, lagging behind the rim to a point, though the bead stays in place, resulting in slower response and drag? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
