    This.

    I can average 21/22mph for my commute on the TT bike. That's down to 17mph on the Coiler. Same route, same rider, same effort. Well, almost the same effort, it felt much harder work on the Coiler...

    Still dont think it'd be half frankly.

    If it was all uphill then the 22mph you achieve on your road bike is all the more impressive (implausible?), and would require even more effort, which would be the same on the MTB.

    Are you pulling figures out of thin air?!
