I'm not here to debate whether JB is right or wrong. (I've never read the book anyway) Especially since I posted here a few times already that I don't like how he explains it. Also, because there's...

No you're not, and this goes to the core of understanding wheels. Instead of arguing top/bottom, think of a wheel as a disc with the hub kept in place by spoke tension that's equal in all...

This is why I hate these kind of debates. Had you said a mathematical model, or mathematical language, I wouldn't be posting. But fiction implies that his analysis is wrong, when it isn't. As I...

It actually isn't a physics as much as sematics problem. Most knowledgeable people agree that the hub doesn't hang from the upper spokes, but get fouled up in describing how it's "supported" by the...
