You're commenting on a article that says "we started to question many of the things we had accepted as ‘facts’... we’ll look at some of these myths. We’ll explain why we (and everybody else) used to believe them, and how things really work" But you aren't qualifying what you're saying: Are you telling us what everybody used to believe? Are you saying you see through what everybody says even without empirical testing? Are you agreeing or disagreeing with the test results presented in the article?

> Are you telling us what everybody used to believe? No; pretty much everything in my comment is undisputed old hat, so it is kind of tangential. The main myth is not that any of that is false, but rather than thin tires more than compensate for these effects due to their reduced air drag and weight and so always end up being advantageous anyway. (And they almost certainly are on a polished indoor velodrome track, where the effect of surface imperfections is next to nonexistent.)
