This is true. I omitted mentioning the (newly added benefit this year) of running our 25mm tires at only 106psi with 23mm wide rims rather than 118psi on the previous 18.5mm rims. Even though our new wheels are much more rigid than the Spinergys, the new tire ride quality characteristics more than compensate. Up till a couple years ago I never would have thought it possible to be running such "low" air pressure on a road tandem and still have better cornering performance. Progress
