why light wheels make your bike turn easier

A fun video on basic demos of two, of the primary types, of momentum plus finally a science guy doing gryo experiments like I did, in a little boat sometimes so fell over a number of ways imprinting a spining thingy into ADD bone memory. Please note, that means really see with observation to sink all published ideas on gryo steering effects in a motorcycle = nil to none. NOTE he never ever holds axle level and turns in the plane as if in a set of road rolling forks, cause his brain stem ain't no fool and knows innately if it did that Splash! Gryo's resist changes, does resisting changes something you want describing your motorcycles handling, hot dam I had more fun the more my cycle resisted changing lean and radius diameter, duh. Any basic compliantly tri-linked isolastic on THE Gravel teaches everyone that pretty darn well and that THE Gravel don't splash as much as water. You can use wheel gryo resistance to help forks and bike lean if ya can spike the loads fast enough against a gryo, Hot Dam is like slapping the water, a smack reaction vs cannon balling. That for sure requires a robust fork brace for me to push-pull off. Lighter wheels = less gryo stabilization if that's clue on how light can ya go and not get scared, just thrilled.

fighter craft benefit by being unstable, ie: easy to change travel vector under thrust on purpose
 
Red! Just paint them red... "fighter craft benefit by being unstable, ie: easy to change travel vector under thrust on purpose".. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Just imagine if they were red..

Where are the test results? I am open to learn new things.

Should read: Lighter wheels = less force input to turn.

Clearly the childs bike did not want to turn. Seems to support the assertion of the title of this thread.

Now off to sit and eat a dish of herring.
Indeed, just paint them red. :roll:
 
Ok yes, Dances you are right - lighter wheels even help the corner cripples - just about everywhere - but where the going gets tough on handling. My sense of it is the lighter wheels let other innate cycle design problems surface, which is where my interest is focused pressing it ever harsher sharper decreasing radii. To me once that condition is competently handled then the rest is just relaxing guided missiles. Get lost in this detailed thriller test report.... Look for some yourself now and then.

The limiting factor for the BST wheels here was a more flighty, somewhat less stable feeling from the front end as we rocked through this sequence at 115 mph while dragging your leg if you’re so inclined to hang off that far. It would take a bit of time to dial in the fork to offset the reduced un-sprung weight of the carbon fiber wheels but we did not have the time to make that happen. As it was, the split times revealed the OEM wheels averaged a 0.25 second advantage through a section that takes 21-22 seconds to navigate.

According to your excerpt, they changed the ratio of sprung to unsprung mass but did not adjust the suspension to accommodate. Suspension not set up, ......slower lap times, ......go figure.

From the url you supplied:

“Compared to the stock wheels the BST wheels made a dramatic change in the bikes handling,” explains Waheed. “It changed directions from side-to-side so much faster that it actually took a bit of time for me to acclimate to how quick it steered into the corners.”

Which goes right back to the point and title of this thread which is "why light wheels make your bike turn easier" - see the url link to a video in the very first post to this thread for the explanation why.

Now who's on first?
 
Stiff kneed ole universal motorcycles still on first, Floppy eared Commando's rounding 2nd with the current rigid racers making it pass 3rd, so what's already across home is the mystery to ask what shirt logo was worn. My work and this Commando stuff is making me think outside the box, so this light wheel stuff is got me fermenting. Relieving though to read even with super duper expensive light wheels there's still only a small difference in end result, which I recognize as these elites having about topped out on their full handling potential with their current antiquated design philosophy. What may leave most with jaw dropping performance demos just leaves me grinning and twitching in dismay, hehehe.
