This guy is like the Yoda of Carbon Wheels - All you ever needed to know about

[Paul Ruinaard]

This was posted on the Chinese Carbon thread but it needs to be shared and watched - answered a lot of my questions.  Its long but worth it. I learned a lot

 

This guy is a guru on carbon rims, clinchers etc and really has some great insights about carbon clinchers and braking surfaces overheating, why to be careful of internal spoke nipples etc...

Yeah he does know what he is talking about, you can see in his passion of all things carbon. I watched another vid of him talking about frames...very interesting too.

Interesting his views on suspension....something I have been saying for years!

Interesting but he was making a few scientific errors in his explanation of the spoke nipple corrosion issues. Ultimately correct about anodised alu or brass being better than un-anodised alu but how he got there was not quite 100%

 

The discussion on wheel stiffness most interesting, especially how a wheel can be too stiff for efficient cornering at high lean angles and how spoke tension has a very low influence on wheel stiffness.

Very interesting.

Dispels a lot of myths,rumors & general consensus about carbon repairs, nipples & wheel stiffness. Excellent viewing.

Thanks for the post Paul, really very informative.

Great article. May need to just stick to Tubbies :-)

Latest video is even more interesting:

 

Does any one know how they perform compaction when they make those foam core lightweight wheels? The only thing I can think of is that the mould is open where the tire sits, and they use a pice of peel-ply in that section?
