Hi guys
What would be the proper calculation to determine the speed loss from larger wheels to small ones?
I measured my 26 inch wheels and with tires installed the circumference is 215cm
I then measured my 17inch wheels with tires and got 180cm.
Since there is 35cm difference Im curious to know. I didnt have a speedometer on my bike at the time so I couldnt check my top speed with the 26inch wheels.
Is there a formula to find out the difference regarding speed between 2 different wheel sizes with the same amount of power and on the same bike?
Thanks
