I adjusted for circumference on my cyclocomputer.
Perhaps if I boil the question down:
In percentages, how much should getting skinnier, slicker tires improve my speed? (I had been expecting something like 5%, putting me in 2-3 min. faster on my previous 40-min. commute.)
In percentages, how much should 300g extra rolling weight slow me down? (somebody on this site said that it should be negligible: 10g on the wheel = 10.01g on the frame.)
