I really wasn't trying to start a pissing contest here, I just want to be sure people understand that the wheel (at the ground) is, in fact, moving.
We all agree that deep dish wheels are beneficial in a criterium, and I'm pretty sure there are studies to back up the statement.
The wheel at the ground is infact NOT moving.
When a wheels rolls without sliding like on a bicycle there is no relative motion between the point of the wheel in contact with the ground and the ground itself.
