I cannot answer for MetinUtz, but I know that BQ did roll tests of various tires. The slowest tire was 20% slower than the fastest tire tested. Marathons were not tested.
So if you rode the fastest tested tire on a 600k, you could, in theory, finish 20% faster than if you were on the slowest of the tested tires. That would save you, in theory, hours. You would, in theory, finish 20% faster. Now, my average speeds don't seem to be much faster on GB or Compass tires than I was on my Marathons, that I can tell, I think. Perhaps only the ultra fit can benefit from these types of performance tires. I will say that the Compass and GB tires seem to feel like they keep their momentum longer, and especially when starting uphill than the Marathons did. But again, I don't see really any significant differences in average speeds between the GB/Marathon/Compass tires. The GB/Compass tires do seem to corner much better, and seems like I cruise 1 cog higher on the cassette with the GB/Compass tires. But again, average speeds on the cyclometer don't seem to be significantly different. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
