Tire Pressure and Rolling Friction of a Road Bicycle Tire

Blog Article

The rolling friction of a road bicycle tire Notebook RAM Memory was measured as a function of changing tire pressure.Five different tire pressures, ranging from 40 to 120 psi, were tested in increments of 20 psi.The power input to the pedals and wheel speed were collected using a crank-based power meter and speed sensor.It was found that rolling SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE friction increases with decreasing tire pressure in an inversely proportional relationship.
