Reply to "Calibration Madness"

bobthurstonMember

I'd like to point folks to some great research by Mike Sandford on the topic of pneumatics and solid tires.

A good place to start is surface roughness and tires.

More good articles, by Mike and others, can be found here.

Mike did some extensive research in this area. Most of the old-timers have read it in MN but maybe newer measurers haven't seen it.

I think a good "take away" from this is: Safest thing is use a pneumatic tire, calibrated on a smooth surface. Or use a cal course that very closely matches the surface roughness of the course you are measuring.
