I'm confused. 15 secs would let me beat the guy ahead of me.
Anyway, I just messed up my theory. I'd been doing repeatable 3:25 w knobs, 3:15 filetread. Today I did 3:10 with both filetread and knobs. So much for that! Of course I was sliding a bit w both. The knobs were clearly easier in corners but the filetreads felt predictable even if slippy. I like a slippy feeling OK. I'm into skiing so I don't mind cultivating this angle. The filetreads did FEEL faster, like they wind up nice. I like them. If it's dry, I'll for sure do test laps of any event with them! I'll bring various wheels then race what feels best!
