The death of rim brakes?

With rim brakes, the spokes do not see any braking forces, since the brakes sit between the spokes and the tire. The spokes may not see any torque between the hub and rim, but are certainly forces due to braking that the spokes see. Now that I think about it some more, yes, there should be increased tension on the rear facing spokes and decreased tension on the forward facing spokes under rim braking. However, under disc braking, there should be an additional torque which should increase tension on all spokes where the head leads the nipple and decreased tension on all spokes where the nipple leads the head (I'm sure there's a technical term for it, but it currently escapes my mind). I imagine that these "torsionally derived tensions" in disc applications are greater than the spoke tension changes with rim braking. |
