Best,
Dan.
David Simpson:
That article is Number 14 is a series of "Myths in Cycling". I haven't read them yet, but they look very interesting, especially since many of the topics are relevant to Thorn touring bikes (wider tires, steel frame, fender, rim brakes, etc).
* Myth 1: Wider tires are slower
* Myth 2: Titanium is lighter than steel
* Myth 3: Fenders slow you down
* Myth 4: Stiffer frames are faster
* Myth 5: An upright position is always more comfortable
* Myth 6: Tread patterns don’t matter on the road
* Myth 7: Tubeless tires roll faster
* Myth 8: Modern components are lighter
* Myth 9: Fork blades don’t flex
* Myth 10: Stiffer forks steer better
* Myth 11: Rear tires should run at (significantly) higher pressures
* Myth 12: Disc brakes work better than rim brakes
* Myth 13: Leaning without Countersteering
* Myth 14: More lumens make a better lightHere is the link to the first article. At the bottom of the article you will find links to the other articles.

Danneaux:
Nothing wrong in referencing these other articles, Dave, but -- please -- if further discussion of non-lighting topics occurs, it should be on a relevant board else the topic structure will go all higgledy-piggledy and it will be difficult for future readers to find discussions in the expected places. :)
All the best,
Dan.
David Simpson:
Thanks for the friendly reminder, Dan. I have started a new thread about the articles:
