PORT CALCULATOR
Rolling Resistance Cycling Calculator
Calculate the rolling resistance of your bicycle tyres based on pressure and surface conditions.
What is the Rolling Resistance Cycling Calculator & How does it work?
The rolling resistance is a force that resists the motion when the tyre rolls on a surface. It depends on various factors including the tyre pressure, the type of surface, and the weight of the bicycle.
This calculator helps you understand how different tyre pressures can affect your cycling efficiency. Lower tyre pressures generally increase rolling resistance due to increased deformation of the tyre, while higher pressures reduce deformation but may lead to a harsher ride.
F_r = C_r \times F_n
F_r = Rolling resistance force, C_r = Rolling resistance coefficient, F_n = Normal force (weight of the bicycle)
