Interesting fact about a wheel.

[Mikkel]

To answer a much earlier question, the increase in radius on a bike tyre is measurable. At speeds of us to about 270, the rear 190/60 Dunlop I had on the Blade increased by about 1cm in radius. Enough to wear a hole through the rear hugger, anyway.

Cool! What pressure were you running?

I've seen bikes where the front wheel guard has been ground away slightly due to wind pressure at high speed deflecting it down to the tyre (but I guess it could be a combination...).


And GSVR - Badjelly has got it right! Perhaps look up SI units on wikipedia or somewhere and that should also confirm it.

Yes I should have just said the dots are 1 dollar coins.

1 KG times 9.8 is the force in newtons you would feel if you you were to hold 1 KG against gravitys pull.

You're getting close...

1 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 9.81 N

N = kg*m/s^2

1 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 9.81 N

N = kg*m/s^2

Yes ok I got weight and mass confused.

But it actually doesnt matter if the mass is 1 gram or 1000 kg in the example the vectors will still be the same.

Only if you assume the wind resistance doesn't have an impact...

Well if you would like to give me the same example and add it your quite welcome to. Personally I think the effects of wind and gravity over the course of half a hundredth of a secound to be unimportant.

Nope I wouldn't like to do that...

...and that is one of the reasons why.

Well just great as I can only assume that there aren't any major errors on the Explodingwheel.jpg or you would have most certainly pointed them out by now.

...that would be a safe assumption, assuming that I had looked at it.
