What tire for my new Knight 95 front wheel?
Quote | Reply
So I just got my new Knight 95 front wheel. They say that it is designed for a 25-28mm tire. I have been running Conti GP4000II's in 23mm on my HED Jet 6's. I put a new Vittoria Course Speed TLR 23mm on my Renn Disc with a latex tube. My question's are these:
Has there been any aero testing of the Course Speed TLR tire or has it just been RR testing?
Should I just stay with the GP4kII but switch to the 25mm up front now due to the aero match for the wheel?
I know there are tires out there with less RR than the GP's, but with their aero properties considered, they didn't all of a sudden become crappy tires relative to all the others.

Low crr makes up for a lot of aero. See TomA's articles on that subject.

I'd reach out to Knight directly for a tire recommendation.

Yes I took a Vittoria Corsa Speed and tested on an Enve 7 and HED JET 6+. Results for the HED JET 6+ were published here: http://www.thomasgerlach.com/...ria-corsa-speed.html. Enve data is still private to those that contributed to testing.

If I may ask, how did you come to decide on a Knight 95?
