Post by Thunder »

In what way can urethane wheels be made faster?

What effect would cryogenics have on them?

Thanks,
Keith

um, push them faster, roll them down a steeper hill, threaten their children, have a radioactive spider bite them

cryogenics would make them colder.

I can't speak for all teams but in my experience wheels are made faster through a slow, controlled process of research and development, with the occasional breakthrough.

Urethane wheels can be made faster by making them out of rubber
