A new test rig for measuring the bicycle tyre rolling resistance is presented. We focus here on the rolling resistance produced by hysteresis and friction related to tyres. The final aim is to en-able the assessment of tyre free rolling performance. The test rig is composed by a longitudinal beam with twin wheels. A proper mass applies the desired radial load at the two wheels. A load cell measures the longitudinal force when the wheels roll over a drum whose diameter is 2.6m. Accurate and repeatable measurements are performed

Abstract

The final aim is to en-able the assessment of tyre free rolling performance. The test rig is composed by a longitudinal beam with twin wheels. A proper mass applies the desired radial load at the two wheels. A load cell measures the longitudinal force when the wheels roll over a drum whose diameter is 2.6m.
