This rant was posted 2 years ago for Patreon supporters...

based on a resource given to me on the Patreon comments from Zak here is my question...

Looking at that it is assumed that a larger diameter wheel would have more stability at the same speed of rotation at the axis. Ok...

Now the question is since we all feel the larger diameter wheel being more stable off road and feel it self correct when deflected. (of course rake and trail are factored into this) why.

If the smaller diameter wheel spins faster producing a higher tangential speed to achieve the same tangental velocity and it is assumed that at that same tangential velocity a larger diameter wheel would rotate slower at the axle but based on distance would have a greater tangetal speed in relation to its axle but still be less than the smaller diameter wheel with its faster rotation. Why is the 21" more stable?

ok people... make me smart!!!
