I usually push my Sprite out of the garage each morning before I set off.
The garage has an interconnecting door to the kitchen so I try to minimise the
exhaust fumes in there.
The point is this.
It is quite heavy to push. The brakes are not binding and the tyre pressures
are at 24 / 22. It should weigh in at about 1520 Pounds (Sprite,1971)
By comparison, my daughter's Peugeot 106 has a kerb weight of 1675 Pounds and
rolls very easily, you hardly have to lean on it.
So what views are there on minimising rolling resistance of a Spridget. It
must be a fruitfull way of improoving performance.
