Re: Ideal compression for flywheel?

I did some testing yesterday. it appeared the ball had about 7 lbs/inch of compression, this was pretty linear up to 3 inches where I stopped measuring. This was between two flat surfaces though, so i'd expect a different (lower) value if you had a single wheel or were riding on rails with the ball.


I wonder how this compares to other teams measurements?
