Rail Trail Out & Back tire/wheel test

This is part 1 of a wheel/tire combination comparison between 700C , Bontrager aeolus RSL 37 wheels with Continental Gravel Terra Speed with 650B DT Swiss Gravel wheels with Pirelli Cinturato gravel tires.

It was 30 minutes out (with an intermittent tail wind). I tried to average the same watts with both wheel sets -- 134 going out and 135 coming back. On the way back I marked 30 minutes at 135 watts with a lap, then continued at about 132 or 133 back to the start.

Lap 1 was 30 minutes out, Lap 5 was 30 minutes back and Lap 6 was continuation to the start. Laps 2,3,4 were some mis-starts (trying to get some music playing).

The results showed the tires were almost identical. The average speed for the 30 minute out and 30 minute back was 16.6 for the Bontrager Aeolus RSL 37's with Continental Terra speeds and 16.5 for the 650B DT Swiss set with the Pirelli tires.
