An extended group Zoom session covering the science of wire wheels & some very useful practical applications
What you will learn:
Part 1:
How a wire wheel works
Wheel patterns - Radial & tangential, Tramlines & crosses, Exotic patterns
Spoke count identification: Easily distinguish between 32 spoke, 36 spoke and 40 spoke wheels instantly, without counting.
Part 2:
The unique Colwood Wheel Works wheel configuration chart (this will be sent to you by email): How to use it & how to work it all out without the chart. (Hint: it's easier with the chart)
Practical use of wheel configurations to work out spoke lengths.
Part 3:
Weight and how it effects performance.
Wheel weight v frame weight.
Sprung weight v unsprung weight.
There will be a short Q & A time between each part and another Q & A at the end of the course..
The content of this course is relevant to all wire wheels: motorcycles, bicycles, wheelchairs, sulkies, and pretty much every other place where you will find a tensioned wire wheel.
