@Amgine@mamot.fr asks about rolling resistance:

Q6.

  • Any lay-person resources to learn more?
  • Is larger diameter generally better?
  • Why is the standard #bicycle #wheel 700c / 26” ?
  • W/gyroscopic forces, the turning CoE moves forward of the wheel centre, even > r (e.g. the demise of delta motor trike.) Is this greater w/larger diameter?
  • Is this a factor in drive wheel vs steering wheel? I.e. if they must be different, which should be larger?
