My Topolino C19 wheels arrived today. I bought a used set off of Ebay and then sent them to Topolino for any repair work that was necessary. Since my bike is currently in the shop, it will be at least two weeks before I am able to ride them.
One thing I never even thought about when buying these C19s was "Rotational Weight." In fact I didn't know what the concept meant. My understanding of rotational weight is that some light weight wheels accelerate quickly but require a lot of energy to keep them moving. I believe it has to do with how the weight is distributed on the wheel.
My question: How is the rotational weight of the C19's and how much energy does it take to keep them spinning? Will adding heavier tires reduce the amount of energy needed to keep them spinning?
