Infact, having a slick doesn't add any grip on any surface, it just makes your ride smoother, and turning easier, and spins on the ground easier, and spins in the air harder. -- Borgschulze 'deviantART' (http://borgschulze.deviantart.com/)'Gravity' (http://videos.observedtrials.net/Gravity.wmv) is -not- the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Borgschulze's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63745 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Maybe it isn't so good for gliding though, as for me I need some good friction between my foot and tyre to slow down - on the bald patches of my tyre it just slides borgschule wrote: Infact, having a slick doesn't add any grip on any surface I think we can safely say you have more grip on smooth surfaces, like gym floors as there is more tyre touching. -- jamessd My videos: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WpBvnO6wVG0#GU5U2spHI_4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xkZLQzvf2g http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mtnedg1YS8c Add me: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jamessd's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15102 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63745 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Borgschulze wrote: Add, ice, snow, rock, anything that isn't flat. so why do they use slick tires wherever they are allowed in motor racing on hard surfaces? the surface has to be very non-flat before tread makes a difference, rough enough for the sticky out bits of the surface to stick in between the treads on the tire. look at the tread pattern on a tire, and look at the hard surface you are riding or jumping on. with slick tires the whole surface of the tire can deform into the macro and micro structure to give traction. with a treaded tire you loose all the contact area between the tread blocks because it cannot contact the surface.

I somehow didn't think of polished surfaces, but that is probably because I never get the chance to ride on one. elastoplastscavenger wrote: so why do they use slick tires wherever they are allowed in motor racing on hard surfaces? the surface has to be very non-flat before tread makes a difference, rough enough for the sticky out bits of the surface to stick in between the treads on the tire. look at the tread pattern on a tire, and look at the hard surface you are riding or jumping on. with slick tires the whole surface of the tire can deform into the macro and micro structure to give traction. with a treaded tire you loose all the contact area between the tread blocks because it cannot contact the surface.

This is a Unicycling forum, but yes, for something heavy and going fast, it makes a big difference. You're also adding to the fact, a car tire has a rectangular contact patch on the ground, while a Unicycle tire is going to have a oval patch touching the ground. -- Borgschulze 'deviantART' (http://borgschulze.deviantart.com/)'Gravity' (http://videos.observedtrials.net/Gravity.wmv) is -not- the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Borgschulze's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63745 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
