and I referenced Le Cycle's testing in the last year, where they
showed that of the top ten tires, clincher and tubular, half were
of each type. I can't recall the order, etc., but it's in my
earlier posting. The print magazine has the full detailed testing.

What is the meaning (and the units) for each axis? Here are my
guesses...
Slip.angle.wet is the angle (in degrees) at which the tyre slips in
some cornering simulation. Higher slip.angle.wet implies better
traction.
Rollout is the distance (units are anyone's guess) the tyre rolls in
some sort of coast down test. Higher rollout implies lower rolling
resistance.

At the risk of raising Sandy's ire, the link to the test source [1]
doesn't help me. Even if I ordered the back issue, I wouldn't be able
to understand it since I can't read French.

No offense taken. However, working as a lawyer all over the world, mostly
with petro engineers, they talk across languages when data is before them.
They also tend to gain a little foreign vocabulary on the way. The numbers,
as you may note in Robert's chart, are pretty indicative of what is being
discussed, and your inferences of what they mean will let you have an easy
time with the print article. I suspect it's some sense of linguistic
embarassment that keeps Americans from becoming acquainted with languages
other than English, but the USA is pretty multilingual these days.

Another reason to get the mag - they do very nice ride itineraries, so if
you happen to fall into a plane coming here, you have a leg up on some nice
routes. Especially the Hard Hill that is now a monthly feature. Reading
kilometres and percentages, while looking at pictures can make for fun
reading and learning. And finding a girl to help translate the more
difficult stuff.
