i stood at the weigh-in of the amgen tour of california prolog today
http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/
and watched the first hour's worth of various sundry bikes having their
conformity tests. [i was at the barrier and could literally touch them,
so visibility was not a problem.] the ratio was about 20:1 in favor of
tubs. "but, but, but" i found myself thinking, "the r.b.t. 'experts'
all swear that pros use clinchers for lower rolling resistance".
this leaves two possible conclusions:
1. r.b.t. "experts" don't know what they're talking about.
2. it was all a figment of my imagination.
wouldn't 2 be so much more comfy?
