Is there any truth to the fact that in early the early Tours, racers
inflated tires with CO2.
Supposedly, even race car tires use this gas because of its higher
consistency than normal air pressure, over varying tire and track
temperatures. Is this possible in the realm of bicycle tires, since I
think due to such higher pressures, leakage is elevated? Yet I deem
the benefits could be minutely small.
And how does the temperature of the air sitting in the tire vary? I'd
like to see some references to this because some doofus on a bike
forum thinks air temperature is roughly constant in the long high
speed descent. That surely can't be possible because of rim heating,
no?
