The parts I liked were the calculations, equations, testing, theory,
etc. The 3rd edition was published in 1993, which suggests that it
doesn't include anything on disk wheels, carbon fiber, or
modeling.

I bought the first edition. The wheels had wooden spokes, and there
was a section on elm versus ash felloes.

There is a great chapter on gluing and screwing spokes.
Those spokes are all under compression and they were having the argument
as to whether the rim sat on the top spoke or not....
I think you mean that spokes are always under tension of they are set up properly.

Wooden wheel, Tom.

There you go again...

A wooden wheel, unless it is some anomaly, always has the spokes under
compression. That's what the "tire" does.
