Increasing the rotational inertia of the front wheel by increasing the speed of the vehicle and the rotational speed of the wheel will tend to counter the wheel flop effect. A certain amount of wheel flop is generally considered to be desirable. Bicycle Quarterly magazine states, "A bike with too little wheel flop will be sluggish in its ...
Wire wheels: Wire wheels#On motorcycles says only main article: Motorcycle construction#Wheels, but that is not a main article, it is a subsection. Bicycle wheel is a better article, but none of these 3 actually explains how spokes support the wheel pre-stressed w/compression. Copyedit : Expand : AGV (helmet manufacturer) Alpinestars; Arai ...
In automobile design, a wheel envelope may be used to model all positions a wheel and tire combo may be expected to occupy during driving. This will take into account the maximum jounce and rebound allowed by the suspension system and the maximum turn and tilt allowed by the steering mechanism. Minimum and maximum tire inflation pressures and ...
Flop (algebraic geometry), a birational transformation; Flop-transition, in the string theory of physics; FLOPS (floating point operations per second), in computing; Flopped image, a type of mirror image in photography, graphic design, and printing; Wheel flop, a consequence of some bicycle and motorcycle geometries
A diagram of a wheel, as the real projective line with a point at nullity (denoted by ⊥). A wheel is a type of algebra (in the sense of universal algebra) where division is always defined. In particular, division by zero is meaningful. The real numbers can be extended to a wheel, as can any commutative ring.
The front wheel from a racing bicycle. Bicycle wheel with wooden rim Nipples Spokes Cross-section of a rim A Shimano Dura-Ace freehub-style hub. A bicycle wheel is a wheel, most commonly a wire wheel, designed for a bicycle. A pair is often called a wheelset, especially in the context of ready built "off the shelf" performance-oriented wheels.
Slip ratio is a means of calculating and expressing the slipping behavior of the wheel of an automobile.It is of fundamental importance in the field of vehicle dynamics, as it allows to understand the relationship between the deformation of the tire and the longitudinal forces (i.e. the forces responsible for forward acceleration and braking) acting upon it.
The intention of Ackermann geometry is to avoid the need for tyres to slip sideways when following the path around a curve. [2] The geometrical solution to this is for all wheels to have their axles arranged as radii of circles with a common centre point. As the rear wheels are fixed, this centre point must be on a line extended from the rear axle.
