Crr Values for clincher tires
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:39 pm
I have recently done a series of 10 coast downs each using two different clincher tire combinations. The results of the Crr seem high, but I don't have any real feel for what they should be. Total bike weight is 248 lbs and using both a 700x23C and 700x20 tire both at 120psi. Crr ranges from 0.0070 to 0.0074. Does this sound right? The road surface was smooth (not glass smooth but smooth) asphalt and the tests were done on the same stretch of road with only on minor very gradual turns. It seems high. Does the gradual turn make a difference?
