That's where rolling resistance comes in, and the science does seem to support wider wheels and wider tires being a benefit.

That Trafflon Show, the podcast

presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and on today's episode we talk cycling science.

I interview Stephen Chung who edited the book of the same name and we go into the science of a

variety of topics related to cycling and triathlon like different cycling body types,

bike fitting, aer aerodynamics rolling resistance

pedaling technique cadence pacing strength training and more this episode is sponsored by precision

hydration they offer electrolyte drinks in different strengths up to three times stronger than

traditional sports drinks because everyone loses a different

amount of sodium in their sweat from around about 200 milligrams per liter up to as much as

2,000 milligrams per liter. I personally use their 1500 milligram per liter strength for preloading

before events and in the events themselves.

And in long training rides, for example, I used the 1000 milligram per liter version.

And I know this is my strength because I took their free online sweats test on precision hydration.com,

which I linked to down below in the show notes so go check that out it takes just a couple of

minutes to do that if you want to buy any of their products including electrolyte drinks and

more use the discount code that triathlon show all one word and you'll get 15% off all right so

i know that last episode i said that today's episode would be a Q&A,

but actually I just interviewed Stephen and talked to him, and it was so good that I just

had to fast track it and get it out to you guys as quickly as humanly possible.

It's a long interview, so I actually split it in two parts, and today is part one, and you'll

hear some of the topics mentioned above.
