Sunday March 9th, 1:30 PM
Seminar room: 123 (Atrium Level)
Presented by Bill Mould
Many aspects of wheel building science are counterintuitive, i.e., things that would seem to be true but aren’t. Wheel building at the expert level requires a deep understanding about topics such as these that Bill will explain in depth: optimal spoke length, rhythmic tension changes in wheels under load, impact of weaving spokes in a lacing pattern, tensile strength, spoke elasticity, and fracture modes of aluminum and carbon rims.
