J.E.B.
We finally got out for a ride earlier today so I got a feel for the high pressure tires. They make for easier pedaling with the lack of surface contact and make a difference on coasting speed too. Going downhill, the speed picked up by about 3 mph from the same hill that had been ridden before. I have the heavier innertubes in them too, so they do not lose the air as fast. Waiting to get out after work some day and see how the speed goes.
