The wikipedia article covers it decently.[1] And, the tires definitely have the most obvious effect at getting up to speed. However, I know that my top speed is higher on my road bike than it is on my mountain bike of similar tire size. I have mostly attributed that to the gearing. (Simply put, I am peddling as fast as I can on the mountain bike and going slower than a modest peddle on the road bike.) Mayhap I am wrong there, as well.
