Hi Jan,

Terrific site for technical info, go to http://www.biketechreview.com/ For great info on rolling resistance from Al Morrison, a retired engineer. Then click on Rolling Resistance

From 1973, but still my favorite and very applicable today, go to http://www.damonrinard.com/aero/aerodynamics.htm

Finally: For a chart, displaying, "clincher tires, pressures, rolling resistance, actual width, weight, and puncture resistance", that I can send by way of email, contact me off list.
