contact profile would be nearly cylindrical How would a 2-dimensional contact profile be describable with a 3-dimensional object? A pro on 28s will definitely notice a delayed/muted impulse response over 23s. Really? Is this a measured, observable fact or another piece of woo that cyclists have believed for donkeys' years? I believe this also affects pedaling efficiency, as any MTB racer on a soft tail will attest. Are you seriously claiming that bouncing up and down on a rear-suspended MTB is comparable to riding on a 622-28 inflated to 620kPa ? Narrow tires also give much better handling/braking and therefore much faster descents. Fat tires braking gives this weird kick-back that feels like it’s tossing you over. Again, I have to ask for specifics and measurements. I will counter-claim that that the inferior response of over-inflated narrow tires to road imperfections leads to much more jittery descents and inferior handling on most surfaces, ths leading to slower descents (that's what all the Bicycle Quarterly tests of roll-downs are about).
