thinking in terms of gravel riding where grip on the front is important and low RR is important everywhere but especially on the back:
- what is the rough proportion of rolling resistance front to rear tyre?
- is this directly proportional to the weight distribution which silca quote as 47/53 for gravel bikes or is it a more significant exponential relationship?
- does the drive force play into this at all?
the point being, i expect RR is more significant on the rear than front but is it enough so to make it a sensible choice to run a slower but grippier tyre on the front and not lose too much speed?
