2 Load
|
Down load on the hub increases from 100 pounds to 300 pounds.
Upper spokes increase tension loads … lower spokes decrease tension pre-load.

3 Velocity
|
Spoke loads increase with increasing velocity due to centripetal forces.
All of the spoke loads increase as the velocity increases from 0 to 60 miles per hour.

4 Stiffness
|
Illustrates the changes in spoke loads with varying rim stiffness.
Horizontal spoke loads increase as the rim stiffness decreases.
