What is hysteresis and why is it so important?
We have collected and studied how rolling resistance contributes to rider performance, and not just the tire. Hysteresis helps to identify the exchange of energy through each contact made whether it's the rider and bicycle or bicycle with the road. We explore which aspects have greater impact on the outcome of the race versus those that are secondary.
Obvious variables will feed into finding the optimal tire pressure for a specific race course. We've done all the research using pro athlete data. We invite you to plug your information using the SILCA Tire Pressure Calculator and learn more about your optimal tire pressure options.
Optimal tire pressure can be key to going faster, reducing injury risk and protecting your investment. Not all air pumps are created equal and here are tips on how to pick a pump for life. With sustainability and eco-friendly products, just how much plastic is in your pump and what does that look like over one's cycling years?
