Investigative studies on the effects of tyre inflation pressure on the motion resistance of pneumatic bicycle wheels on hard and deformable surfaces

The effects of tyre inflation pressures on the motion resistance of four pneumatic bicycle wheels on four test surfaces were investigated using the previously developed motion resistance test rig for traction studies. The motion resistances which is equal to the towing force were measured with the a...
