After extensive research on this topic, I have settled on:
78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% water vapor It has the best combination of smooth ride, and lowest rolling resistance of anything I have tried.:thumb: |

That's absurd. Did he fill the tires to a much higher pressure with the nitrogen? That's the only way it could have made any noticable difference.
Absurd? Try it yourself and them report back.:thumb: |
So ah, did your friend document this nitrogen in bike-tyre experiment? Double-blind study? Did he quantify "hasher" and "rougher" in numerical terms?
I've done the same and can tell you that nitrogen at the same pressure feels exactly the same as air at the same pressure. Not surprising considering that air is 78% nitrogen to begin with. And no, I haven't gotten my bike tyres up to 220F where it starts to over-pressurize like with auto-tyres... nor do I want to try that either... |

Don't know but he is a better wrench and rider that probably anyone here so I value his observations.
