Yeah I'll support that rolling resistance thing. I ride Sprinters, and their pretty good. I also have an old LA tubular thats pretty sweet. And just bought the podiums which look better than the sprinters cause their slick instead of having little bumps for tread, which has been shown to actuallly decrease grip on the road. I put 140 in the back and 150-160 up front. THe concept is that as you increase the psi----the wheel is that much harder and instead of rolling on the cement it makes micro bumps over the ground reducing the amount of time your tire is actually making contact with the ground. Not a big deal on the front tire cause its not a drive tire but on the rear its crucial. THats my logic.
