BRR has been a great site over the years and I realize they want to make money but only showing 100 and 120psi figures now makes the site much less useful. And I don’t really need another subscription for something obscure as tire rolling resistance even though it’s only $10.
The price is only higher because it just came out and everybody wants it. I just bought the old TL version for $39.99. That will get me through the winter!
I think what may be obscuring the results is that the new tire is physically smaller. This kind of bums me out more than anything. I didn’t really want an even smaller 25mm tire and I can’t run larger on my current frame. I could care less about saving a couple watts in rolling resistance.
First column new tire, second old tire.
