I still wonder why small diameter wheels are used when larger diameter is supposed to be faster?
Are smaller wheels less stable?

Lowering the pressure helps but risky with pinch flats. I've also experimented with the max pressures (115) for speed values but that was horribly rough going. It made my teeth chatter so bad and trying to talk to others sounded awful, like chipmunks. it didn't appear to be any faster either.
There is also a large proportion of European manufacturers that are sticking to the 20 inch format with most of their bikes.
Ian Simms from Greenspeed also mentioned that the same profile of a tire, with the same air pressure, has less rolling resistance when smaller.
In all of this though I haven't seen any high pressure 20 inch by 23mm wide tyres. I can imagine they would make a harsh ride.
