Reply to "Why do we post-calibrate?"

Experimenting with airless tires, I put on a fat one and rode it around my 681 m block once. Next day, I calibrated early, measured a 2 mile course and recalibrated at a warmer temperature later in the day. The tire evidently settled into the rim or mooshed. I had to go back and add 9' to the course. It did it on one more course and I "retired" the tire. Start air temp was 94 F and finish was 122 F.

An on site check ride course would probably have caught it. But then what do you do?
