On the longest and steepest hill on Phuket, perhaps a kilometer or more of severe down hill the rims were not hotter than I could comfortably hold my hands on. https://www.jamiesphuketblog.com/201...in-phuket.html A different hill but typical of Phuket hill roads. That was the technique I used in Albany County. I would stop every mile or so to feel my rims, and never found them hot. If we want to be scientific maybe we can get Frank to calculate friction heating of the rim during braking and heat dissipation when coasting :-) The heat input to the rims is easy to calculate. The heat dissipation would be intensely difficult to calculate. That's why, years ago, Jobst and others here talked about measuring rim temperatures by various means. These were one possibility: https://www.omega.com/en-us/sensors-...p/TL-C5-LABELS You stick them on a surface, and as each temperature is reached, the dot turns permanently black. -- - Frank Krygowski |
