The format "Quarks - Science and more", which is broadcast every weekday afternoon on Inforadio station WDR 5, was recently dedicated to the topic of bicycle tyres. Under the motto "Wide tyres, more speed - a new formula for bikes?", TOUR technology editor Jens Klötzer was a guest expert on the live programme.
In conversation with presenter Martin Winkelheide, the advantages and disadvantages of wider tyres for professional road cyclists and everyday cyclists were discussed, and there were deeper insights into technical issues and practical tips for the right air pressure. Listener questions were also answered. The direct link to the programme as a podcast can be found here.
