Regardless of whether the claim of faster small wheels is due to lower rolling resistance or other factors, I am still mystified as to why Dahon would say that small wheels are slower in their marketing pieces....
Mystified because you'd expect advertising hype never to include such a comment
... or mystified for technical reasons? Also, they don't say it as bluntly as you do. They say the Hammerhead gives up a bit of speed to the fastest 700c racing bikes. And they make up for that with an "oh my".
