that's it tom, deny reality. the way you succeed in deluding yourself,
maybe you'll next claim that spoke tension really /is/ "evidence" of

eh? i'm don't - so don't make false accusations! lightweight.

eh? i'm don't - so don't make false accusations! lightweight.

ps. why don't you answer the point? when are you going to test your

Yes you do. You complain that Jobst Brandt did not perform a realistic
test because he loaded the wheel with a torque concentric to the axle,
but then you claim your static test of a wheel with missing spokes
proves that those spokes are not needed to make the wheel functional.

again, you're putting false words in my mouth.

1. the pic is necessarily static because of the tensiometer. [duh]
2. it really doesn't matter /what/ the orientation is to evidence that
this wheel supports load, but the orientation shown is the worst possible.
3. that wheel is clearly not "functional". as i've stated before, you
wouldn't ride that wheel regularly - it's obviously hard to true, the
spokes make a heck of a racket, and things will just get worse as the
spoke nipples unscrew themselves. BUT, it supports weight, and will
ride - should you be so inclined.

and
4. most importantly, it doesn't "collapse" because some spokes are
missing and the others slack!!!

Double standard for Jobst Brandt - he needs to load the wheel according
to actual riding conditions, while "jim beam" does not. Sheeesh!

Where is the proof of item 3? Do we take the word of a sock puppet as

Double standard for Jobst Brandt - he needs to load the wheel according
to actual riding conditions, while "jim beam" does not. Sheeesh!

i said it supports load and will ride. you trying to misconstrue that

this tom, is where your engineering prowess comes into play. you want

get your facts straight. i address "collapse", not long term
serviceability [obviously], and am drawing "collapse" conclusions
accordingly. jobst is addressing combination loading with single load
orientation - and drawing combination loading conclusions. if i were
trying to draw fatigue conclusions from a static load, that would be a
different matter, but i'm not, so don't make false accusations.
