Road damage is proportional to the 4th power of the axle load. A MUni

the trail that the MTB does.




Assuming that road damage is indeed a 4th power function ( care to
explain why?) ...should that not therefore be 8 times the damage?
Each MTB wheel causing 1/16th the damage?

The dress in which I unicycled was not THAT short, but in retrospect, I
think that maybe the blue one would have been more appropriate to the
terrain.
