How much would you say your Azor Ameland weighs on its own? Also, do you think the 50mm wide tires are a good width, or maybe too wide? I like the idea of the 50mm width for extra cushioning but am wondering how much rolling resistance they have compared to something like a 47mm that the Azor Amsterdam model comes with.
I understood that narrow tyres are only faster because of aerodynamic resistance, because wide tyres have a similarly sized contact patch, only a shorter and wider one. They might even have less friction on imperfect surface because of their better cushioning. So if you don't go fast enough to make aero important, which the bike isn't specifically designed for anyway.
