This article is really a summary, as part of a series on myths in cycling. Here's a pair of much more recent article with more data and methodology and nuance specifically about testing and speed: https://www.renehersecycles

Yeah, these supple tires are faster but less delicate than you think. I do think replacing your stock tire with a supple tire at the same width will be a huge upgrade, and wider would just give you a little bit more.

I think tires affect the ride quality and comfort and speed more than any other easy to replace component. Even if you don't go any wider, the supple tires from Rene Herse really blew me away. I think it's worth it, or just waint

Another big difference is simply the quality of the tire. A supple 48mm knobby could be faster than a stiff slick (and we know the width doesn't matter). The Rene Herse Oracle Ridge knobbies are 48mm, quite supple and corner well on th

Indeed! In the same series: Myth: disc brakes work better than rim brakes[0]. The rim is the rotor of a bit disc brake rotor that cools better and doesn't add any weight. But the wider tires make disc brakes a necessary choice. [0] ht

I think here, "on the clock" also implies "available to drive" or "driving". I can't be driving two different people for two different companies at the same time, so I'm not really available to drive

I think the second-cheapest is usually the best starter product. The cheapest product requires every possible sacrifice to quality, but the second-cheapest only made the tradeoffs that make sense. You can buy the second-cheapest and still g

Not at all. UPS does it to become more efficient, and that works because UPS has a lot of stops to make. But GP's grandmother did it to be safer even though it was usually less efficient.

Clearly there is market for these kinds of games, but I agree. At some point, it just makes sense to make a video game and just let a computer handle the display and fiddly bits. Plenty of games have crossed way past that that line.

That just sounds like the shared libraries needed to make breaking changes less often. If you're going to make changes to core code, it's going to take time to get everything up to date no matter how your code is organized. In oth

You seem very interested in this WDS concept. In fact, I would say it is interesting. But I think citing "please reply to the argument instead of calling names" will be less confusing. Here, calling names is short-hand for criti
