hi,
i was wondering if you guys could tell me what kind of difference in average speed you would expect from a mountain bike with meaty tires to a mountain bike with narrow tires to a road bike with narrow tires.
the reason that i ask is because i'm currently ridding a mountain bike with side serious mountain tires and my average speed is no where near what other people mention they ride.
i'm currently ridding an average of 21km/h. i've only been riding for less than two months so i'm sure i'll be able to raise that average over the summer but i'm just curious what kind of difference tire widths/drag make.
