Great! Keeps it light!teazer said:Top is just the chain guard and I can't see a bottom roller, but neither are required. There is no suspension at all, so no change in tension.
I find it interesting that all three had the same diameter initially. Also number 3 has more of a donut shape so I think that it would have reduced mass furthest away from its axis.irk miller said:The highest moment of inertia is when the mass is distributed furthest from the axis. Overall diameter and overall weight isn't enough information to determine which is more between #1 and #2. Though being 2lbs heavier, I would guess #1 is most likely.
It's mass is determined by material. If they are all made from the same alloy, then it's safe to make the assumption you make on #3. Otherwise, that isn't necessarily the case. Also, #3 is most likely going to be the easiest to get into motion and to stop based on your weight reading. I would think it may be the best option for drag applications.Texasstar said:I find it interesting that all three had the same diameter initially.

There is a big difference in throttle response between 1 and 2.
I wish it would stop raining so we can test it...irk miller said:It's mass is determined by material. If they are all made from the same alloy, then it's safe to make the assumption you make on #3.

Yes very ridiculous. M&H Vintage Cycle Slick 4.0/26.6-18 weighed in at a hefty 15 lbs.teazer said:36 pounds for a complete wheel and tire including tube? How much did the tire weigh?
It's ridiculous how heavy some of those old wheels are. Our RD weighed in at a hefty 14.90 Kg including a slick and tube that weighed in at 5.,63kilos. I think that was without the axle and nuts.
