snapping spokes or sniping spooks, who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

[Trevor Jeffrey]

I see that Tim McNamara has taken his usual stance defending Jobst
Brandt with his infinitely detrimental banalysis, and of accusing others of
the very attacking verbiage he himself is using. I do not see that there is
anything of JB's work describing a wheel etc. that needs to be disproved as
no proof of his description has been made. It is just plainly incorrect. I
wonder if the two mentioned are very personal friends.

Ah, Trevor, it *does* seem like old times. I see you're still
spouting your old waffle about wheels, and it isn't any more accurate
than last time. Are we going to debate whether wheels hang from the
upper spokes or stand on the lower spokes again?

I live 2000 miles away from Jobst and have never met him. Given that
Jobst whacks me upside the head with regularity when I post something
he thinks is incorrect, just as he does with everyone else, I think
your question is answered. I disagree with him on a number of topics,
but wheels aren't one of them. His qualitative and quantitative
analysis has convinced me. It took a few years of arguing with him in
rec.bikes.tech for me to actually understand the model- a mechanical
engineer would have gotten it in 5 minutes or less.

And apparently your trollish critic still hasn't gotten it. Eh,
that's his problem, his post came close enough to pegging my
plonkometer that I won't be seeing his responses.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Read my posts, build a wheel out of the cheapest materials using my
preferred method, and ride it over the roughest terrain you can manage
without killing yourself. You will spend less time overall than your
constant unfounded criticisms.

The troll had the desired effect in prompting a reserved and lucid
response in the public domain. Previous discussion with T.Mc have not shown
the disagreements with JB that he claims. I can only conclude that T.Mc
avoids argument with JB
Ignoring a poster on the basis of one posting is a blinkered view.
Ignorance is folly in a discussion group.

I must refer you to id Todd Bryan, as I've asked him to investigate the
feasibility of such an item.

A red and white squid imitation made of feathers is much better trolling bait.
