I'd love a Kurt Kinetic with the huge flywheels but I can't afford one so I shall stick with my Elite.
I want more inertia (coastdown from 40kmh is about 2-3 seconds) and was wondering if I could add weights to the inside of the tyre. Adding weights to the rim or spokes is obviously dangerous but if the weight is inside a tyre they should be happily tucked away.
I was thinking of adding weights all along the tyre's circumference and tucking the inner tube back in as best I can.
I won't be using the wheel on the road.
Can anybody see any flaws in my great plan for DIY inertia adding?
