CyclingNews compares the latest 40c offering from Pirelli. It's a
long and well-written article, whether you agree with the findings
or not.
 

 
 

 
 
email client formatting error. Me too on first try.
 
I copied and pasted into a text editor then removed the space after:
are-
 
and the space after:
why/?
 
then coped and pasted into Firefox as an unbroken address.

Hmm. Still no joy.
 

 
I see that my paste above shows an errant space, like Mr Zen, after:
are-
 
and after:
why/?
 
and maybe also after:
9F48-

 
Still no good. Ah well.

That has no break etc, and line wrap should be fine. Need the guff after
the main link to get past the paywall!

Isn’t much new to be honest bar they have tested 40mm road tyres, on smooth
surfaces the width doesn’t make much impact on rolling resistance graph
line is largely flat.

Using the “cobbled” drum as you’d expect wider tyres dominate, which is the
same with real world testing GCN among others have ridden hybrids/Hardtail
MTB on the cobbles next to road bikes or even Gravel bikes and the MTB just
floats over the wider tyres reducing the impact.

And hence the Gravel racers fitting MTB tyres for some races and so on.
