Tire making, episode five
Suppose that (during construction) I need to test a tire by mounting and
inflating it. Is there any difference in rim strength if the rim is built into a complete wheel, or if the rim is used alone? ~ |

Yes, significantly but strength is hardly a critical factor for checking a tire's integrity. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I find the spokes generaally useful in aiding the fitting and removal of a tyre if the wheel is not attatched to a frame. |
