2,3 eller 2,6 däck, vilket är snabbast?
Nu handlar det här om grusrejsing men ändå...
"This is something echoed by Dylan Johnson, someone who is also a fan of using mountain bike tires. He reveals that he has found that the rolling resistance of a tire is more to do with the casing than its width. “You could have a 40-millimetre gravel tire with a good casing or a bad casing and the same with a 2.2-inch mountain bike tire,” he says. “The casing will be a bigger determining factor to how fast the tire is than its width.”
Johnson adds that the higher volume of a mountain bike tire inherently increases the tire’s puncture resistance as there is a larger contact patch on the ground. This allows for a thinner casing to be used which is both lighter and rolls faster. “For example, a Schwalbe Thunder Burt or Continental Race King 2.2 are fast XC race tires,” he says. “The casing is thinner than most gravel tires, which means that on gravel the rolling resistance is lower.”"
